Wike: A cat with nine lives

Governor Nyesom Wike is a fighter; he has come a long way in the art of political warfare. Last week, the Rivers State governor, again, came out unscratched from what is perhaps his biggest political battle. In this report, WALE ELEGBEDE writes on the hurdle the man popularly called ‘Mr Projects’ had to scale to secure a second term in office

Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, cuts a different picture to different people. For some, he is a desperate politician with lousy character, while to others, he is a man that abhors injustice, especially against the masses and would go to any length to repel anything of such.
Regardless of the acuity, however, his bravery and daring spirit is one trait that can’t be easily untwined from him.

From when he berthed in the murky waters of politics, he has developed a knack for taking on political battles and winning most of them. He loves the game of politics and the game loves him. Whenever he suffered any political setback, those close to him say that he recoils, goes back to his chess board to plot again and come back in full fledge.

On the face value, Wike is a tough man and he is not a jelly, lily-livered man. But, those who know him say he is so gentle and unassuming that he could easily be classified as a man, who cannot hurt a fly. But, they are also quick to add that anyone, who looks for his trouble will get it in dose because he doesn’t suffer fools gladly.

Speaking in an interview with a national newspaper on the perception about him by a section of the media, Wike said: “For me, I’m not bothered about what the media writes about me. My own concern is, how do my people feel? Are they happy? Yes! Are they not happy? No! So, that is what bothers me. Rivers people elected me. Therefore, I owe them that responsibility to defend their interest.

I am not a fan of Wike... But I think Nigerian Political Science Departments should have a special course about the likes of Wike and Kwakwanso so as to teach up coming politicians on how to be victorious against all odds...

Wike smiles to the bank daily, the PDP are smiling because he is the number one person financing them but the people of rivers are in pain because their resources are being wasted on a large scale.

A good game changer

And one small mugu here dey compare this warrior to Udom when just enter politics 4 years ago as stooge...

The beginning and the end of practical politics. All hail our political wikepedia

for me I still don't get d reasons of praising wike cos of this Election he won against APC dream team(AAC)... before the election I knew wike will win.. APC knows that even d Awara guy knows this, Amaechi also know... I think they just wanted to shake wike cos he's too comfortable and relaxed.. Am happy the election went that way... Pdp has to buckle up... anything can happen
