Rivers State elder statesman Sara-Igbe has indicated that residents of the state are carefully assessing the political situation ahead of the forthcoming elections, adding that many are waiting to understand the true intentions of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike before making their final decisions.
In a video shared by Symfoni TV on Saturday, November 7, 2026, Sara-Igbe explained that some political stakeholders in Rivers State remain undecided, while others have deliberately stayed away from taking sides. He expressed confidence that developments expected within the next few weeks would give residents a clearer picture of Wike’s political character and influence their decisions about the direction to follow.
During the interview, he also discussed the possibility of residents supporting the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). According to him, the party has presented proposals aimed at transforming the state, including encouraging industrial development and constructing a road linking the airport area to Onicha. He explained that the proposed infrastructure project could improve access for investors coming from eastern Nigeria.
Sara-Igbe further recalled previous election periods when political leaders in Rivers State reportedly reached important decisions shortly before voting commenced. He maintained that the people understood how to respond to political developments and would eventually agree on a common direction.
He also suggested that individuals who genuinely supported Governor Siminalayi Fubara might find it difficult to openly campaign for Wike because of the political disagreements involving their camp.
However, Sara-Igbe’s comments represent his personal assessment of the situation. Wike’s response to the allegations was not included in the interview.
