He was a tyrant, many people are afraid of him.

Wike is a dangerous man and he wants people he can control, he never expected SIM to be this bold, the rest are just his puppets

Rivers people love Wike no be small. I'll still say it that if election is conducted free and fair today in Rivers, Wike people will win. Sim's followers will never be loyal to him the way most Wike's followers are.

He understands the politics of settlement and political reward. Wike has mastered and knows how to reward loyalists.

Even if I disagree with many other comments here, I agree with this one 100%.
Re: What Makes Wike So Powerful In River State? by commoditiesnig: 3:54pm On May 15
I thought about this same question earlier

One word: CHARISMA

Wike should be Rivers most Charismatic Governor. Others both past and present simply don't have this as him!

I think most Rivers politician loyal to Wike are just a clique who believe Fubara is a betrayal of national repute. Fubara is treacherous, the fallout is just too sudden.

Wike naturally will not be able to offer those politician what Fubara will offer them considering the money chest that a Rivers governor have access to. But they still choose to align with Wike because loyalty is key and conscience won’t even make them just denounce Wike at this early stage.

Politicians generally don’t have conscience, but there are levels that even the worst politician will question his action. To be fair to Fubara, he also exercised some restraint at the early stage but treachery is still treachery either ways.

I like what Tinubu is doing, he is playing neutrality. So Wike team and Fubara team can fight to stupor and one eventually win over the other for sanity to resume.

We watch on the side.
Re: What Makes Wike So Powerful In River State? by Beremx(f): 4:53pm On May 15
The only thing that makes Wike powerful now is because of Tinubu whom he rigged for and was compensated as a minister. Of Wike is removed as minister, he no longer have powers.

Tinubu is with wike 100%, he's just trying to be careful because he's faced with so many challenges in the country, if there is anybody that can relate with wikes predicament now, its BAT, he had a similar issue in Ambode
Re: What Makes Wike So Powerful In River State? by ruggedtimi(m): 5:21pm On May 15
The people loyal to him are people he appointed as governor. So is a normal thing for them to be loyal to their leader. Sims also have his own people coming up.
Most of those wike loyalist were nobody in rivers politics before wike became a governor...they retired the old politicians. Same way sims gang of politicians will retire wike men

Re: What Makes Wike So Powerful In River State? by ruggedtimi(m): 5:29pm On May 15
Rivers state Governor office is the amongst the most powerful office in Nigeria. Odili was the man of the moment when he was governor same as Amaechi....Wike used 105% of the power that comes with the office. Same reason wike had to pick someone he feels is weak cos he knows the power that comes with the office.
Without wike's ministerial appointment..All those his loyalist by now will be looking for Fubara's number.

The mentality of some of you really amazes me.

A governor/political leader that spends state resources to control his followers is what some of you applaud.
Wike requesting N2b monthly from Fubara is what you deem morally right.

I think the problem of our society can be found in the value system of the masses.

Sometimes I am tempted to believe that a people deserve the kind of leaders they get.

Fubara shouldn’t have requested Wike arsenal to win an election in the first place. If you don’t want people to support you with state funds, then don’t seek for their help so you won’t need to be like Fubara trying to fight off that.

The joke is on you if you believe Fubara is a saint. He was working with Wike before and was even declared wanted by EFCC. Shey na that man come dey claim saint now? He is just as criminal as anybody else.

Until Nigeria politicians stop seeking help to get to position of power from powerful few, nothing will change. If I sponsor your election and expended billions on you, you better pay my money back after you get to the position or else you’ll see what traitors get for treachery.

He has no proof, it’s just the usual stuffs people say.

Let’s even say Wike is asking Fubara for money, is he not entitled to ask for the money he used in supporting Fubara for governorship?

If Fubara know he would not repay any benefit, why go to Wike in the first place to support his election ?

USA understood this which explained why their politics is more on public donations. Like that, you’ll save yourself from the stress of stuffs like this.

A good man because he rigged in favor of Tinubu for selfish ambition? A good man because he openly showed disdain against Igbos abi? A good man because he is a serial drunkard and unstable fellow? Even Tinubu would slap you for making this statement.

For your information TINUBU is behind Fubara dealing with Wike, you think Tinubu is stupid and blind like you in trusting Wike

There is no proof that wike asked for 2b, there are too many gullible zombies in Nigeria, I bet that guy is an obedient, they just peddle rumours without asking questions.

Everything is not about igbos, what concerns the igbos with Rivers state issues? Did fubara not also rig for Tinubu in opobo lga? And he's even still planning to rig for Tinubu in hopes that Tinubu will support him for second term.

so it means Wike probably got what he deserved because he put in a thief to cover him but he forgot one rule about loyalty, never be a character of habit.

unfortunately that's what it's all about for the person I quoted because they attribute everything against Tinubu towards Obidients.

Bros Wike is a good man. Wike doesn't disappoint in any agreement reached with him. Wike is a grassroot politician. Anyone around him gets something from him. He rewards loyalty.
His weakness is quick to anger. He has a reputation for irascibility But very easy to pacify despite his obvious weakness. Overall Wike is a good man compared to other politicians.
Why did he pick Sim?
He believed of all those he worked with Sim tolerated him the most. He believed Sim understood him the most.
Sim to him was the easy to reach and down to earth personality among them. In this case just as the third world countries produce UN secretary general let the humblest of them be made the governor. Secondly Sim has lost of the secrets of the administration.
But there a thing he overlooked. Most of the documents used to fight Amaechi were provided by Sim having also served in Amaechi's administration not too sure on which capacity. How Wike believed that Sim would not go against him as well is a study for another novelty field.
