Erstwhile Commissioner for Information and Communication in Rivers State, Austin Tam-George, has said that the defection of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, changed the political dynamics in the state.
He stated the Fubara’s defection to the APC, has weakened the influence of the camp loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The former Rivers Information boss, added that the political calculations in the state within the last three weeks has changed, insisting that the development appeared to have unsettled Wike and his allies.
Speaking during a programme, Tam-George stated that this is the reason why Wike in recent weeks embarked on visits to several local government areas in the state.
He submitted that Fubara’s defection prevented Wike from enjoying the leverage he had in the past, thereby forcing him and his camp to seek new ways of reasserting their influence.
Tam-George also warned that the ongoing political tension and instability resulting from the rivalry would ultimately be detrimental to the state and its people.
