Despite Threat, Wike Storms Abalama Community in Rivers State
Former Rivers State governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has arrived in Abalama, Asari-Toru Local Government Area, for a Thanksgiving Service and Civic Reception in his honour.

His visit comes despite contrast from the community’s monarch and residents, who denied the contingency due to political upheaval in the state.

Tensions intensified earlier in the day as protesters took to the streets, impeded roads and carrying placards to challenge Wike’s visit.

Videos circulating on social media show residents, containing women and youths, voicing their disapproval and demanding that the former governor stay away.

The protesters publicized that they would not allow Wike into their community, citing his remark that the Kalabari people are a minority in the state.

The Amayanabo of Abalama, King Dr. A. B. Big Tom Tom JP, had officially distanced the community from the contingency.

In a letter to the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, dated March 12, 2025, he expressed shock at learning about the program through social media and cited security concerns as the reason for turning down it.
