Viral Footage Captures Bayelsa House of Assembly Chief Whip, Gabriel Ogbara, in Violent Confrontation with Wike’s Supporter

Ogbara was seen in a viral video exchanging blows with some Ogbia Local Government Ward Coordinators of The NEW Associate, Bayelsa State chapter.

The NEW Associates is a political organization consisting of supporters of the FCT Minister.

While the NEW is an acronym for Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.

Allegedly, a coordinator of The NEW Associates, who suffered an assault at the hands of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly Chief Whip, held significant sway, resulting in Hon Ogbara’s growing unease.

“Gabriel Ogbara appears to be experiencing distress due to his fading prominence in the community, as The NEW Associates philosophy surges in popularity and gains widespread recognition, resulting in a physical reaction from him.”

“We never even started and they’re already showing physical frustration. The love for Nyesom Ezenwo Wike at the grassroots across Bayelsa State is unparalleled. Saturday, 26th April 2025 is a reality.”
