Take Your SIM Card, Give Us Wike,  PDP Supporters Chant During Protest In Port Harcourt

Supporters of former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike staged a massive protest, chanting “Take your SIM card, give us Wike!” in what appeared to be a direct attack on Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The demonstration highlighted the deepening rift within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State as the battle for political dominance between Wike and Fubara intensifies.

According to the media aide to the FCT Minister, Lere Olayinka, the phrase “Take your SIM card” has become a symbolic rallying cry among Wike’s loyalists, who believe Fubara has sidelined the political structure that helped him secure power.

The ongoing feud has seen Wike’s allies in the Rivers State House of Assembly strongly opposing Fubara’s administration, leading to tensions within the state government.

Protesters marched through major streets, insisting on Wike’s continued influence in the state’s governance. The crisis has led to legal battles, political realignments, and growing uncertainty about the future of Rivers politics.

As the struggle for control escalates, this protest signals that the conflict is far from over. With both camps refusing to back down, Rivers State remains a battleground for political supremacy.
