Secondus Slams Wike Over ‘Expired Politicians, Political Vampires’ Critique
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has faced backlash from former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairman, Uche Secondus for branding him and ex-Transportation Minister, Abiye Sekibo as “expired politicians” for supporting Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Recall that some Rivers PDP leaders such as the former PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus; former Minister of Transportation, Abiye Sekibo, a former Rivers Senator, Lee Mbae, Celestine Omehia; and former federal lawmaker, Austin Opara had last week declared support for Fubara and President Bola Tinubu.
Wike, in a media interaction with handpicked journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, denounced the PDP leaders as political vampires and expired politicians, questioning their eligibility to be regarded as elder statesmen.
Wike said it was ironic that the same politicians who had refused to support Fubara before the 2023 polls now declared support for him after the poll.
However, Secondus, in a statement released by his media aide, Ike Abonyi, labelled Wike as a “showman” known for his duplicity, manipulation of facts for political gain, and propensity to distort the truth.
He further criticized the FCT Minister’s remarks in a media chat as “appalling and unfortunate,” particularly condemning his characterization of Rivers State’s esteemed political figures as “transitional politicians, political vampires, and political buccaneers.”

Okuama: We Are Allowed To Arrest, Interrogate Civilians – Military
Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, has said the military is authorised to arrest and interrogate civilians.
In an interview with Arise News on Wednesday, Musa stated that the military is not overstepping its authority by investigating civilians connected to the killing of soldiers in the Okuama community.
He said the army is not acting unlawfully or taking matters into its own hands because it is legally deployed and authorised to make arrests and to interrogate.
Musa said a Joint Task Force, which involves members of the armed forces, the police and every other security agency, is investigating the murder of the soldiers.
He said: “We are happy that the Commander in Chief has given us a mandate to recover the arms to arrest the perpetrators. A lot of comments have been made by different kinds of people, some from lack of understanding.
“When you have a Joint Task Force, Joint Task Force involves members of the armed forces, that is the army, navy airforce, we have the police, the DSS, every other security agency is part of it. So when we have arrests, we have a joint investigation team, it is not like the army is taking laws into their hands. Once we are deployed on operation, we have the right and the mandate to arrest all acts of criminality within that area.
“They were legally deployed and with their mandate, they are authorised to make arrests, they are authorised to interrogate, because we have a joint interrogation centre that works together as a team under the Joint Task Force.”
