If Obi didn't emerge on the scene as a candidate to beat at the polls, Wike would have given up and succumbed to Atiku. The reason is because, Wike won't have any option than to sulk it up since he can't support APC against PDP knowing that majority of Rivers people don't like APC.

Atiku would have called Wike's bluff if it had remained a two party horse race between PDP and APC, because SE and SS would still have preferred to vote PDP regardless of what happened at the primaries than to vote for a party like APC.

Most people in Rivers State and indeed the rest of SS and SE are more disposed to voting for Obi. Should Wike throw in state structure and resources in support of Labour Party, it becomes a landslide but if he doesn't, Obi will still win Rivers State but with less margin and PDP will still get significant votes.

This dicey situation is what has thrown Atiku into confusion. Call Wike's bluff and lose all or reconcile and hope to get significant votes due to state support.

The emergence of a third force championed by Obi's Labour Party has given Wike much relevance. He now seems to be holding the four aces, but that wouldn't have been possible without Obi's bold and courageous move to establish a third force.

Wike!!!!!

Only one explanation, Power to South2023

One word. Obi is the new bride in town.

. Kinda agree with your narrative. But if Wike should support Atiku fully, Atiku will get over 70% of Rivers vote

True fact

IPOB miscreants analysis

You're wrong bro. Wike isn't fighting this boldly because of Obi's emergence, rather he's trying to stand on the promises made by PDP bigwigs that power should go to the south. Obi is not the only one from the south who's in the race.

---

---

Everyone knows Tinubu is stronger than Obi anyday, anytime and Wike knows this very well. He's banking on the strength of Tinubu who will likely win, to force PDP into doing the right thing: which is to appoint a Southern president for the party as agreed before if Atiku emerged.

---

---

Wike holds no allegiance to Obi or any Igbo personality who obviously don't even support their own. He's all about equity and fairness and is using Tinubu's popularity to threaten Atiku.

Atiku on the other hand is banking on the promise made to him by some Northern bigwigs that he'll win the election. Tinubu is more popular than Atiku and Obi in the North, don't forget that.

Lol! This is a pipe dream and wishful thinking.. what will Wike tend to gain by supporting Pandora with no structure and no any hope of defeating Tinubu.. mind u, APC/Tinubu won't be asking for Wike to deliver 100% votes, which is impossible.. but even 25% agreement will favour Tinubu

All politics is Local. The op clearly analysed it from RIVERS STATE PERSPECTIVE. Mark my words, Tinubu CANNOT win Obi in Rivers state. Even with federal might assuming there is no PDP in the mix. That's the point.

Bunch of clowns


I keep telling you guys that 1million match is not election... I can bet, not all those clowns that walked miles for obi will come out to vote. Better be ready for biafia or death

You're all jokers! Even with PDP in the mix, LP will come a distant third.

Tinubu cannot win Peter Obi in Rivers state. No matter the party. That's of course if the PDP is not in the mix.

You are not in check with reality, reality is that tinubu is the most disliked politician up North plus his agberos that intimate and oppress their brothers in Lagos do not help matters.
The North has decided to go with Atiku.
The Church will join well meaning Nigerians to mobilize against tinubu's desperate Muslim-muslim agenda.
It's the end of the road for apc

This is myopic. What happened to justice?

See it is a dicey situation for Wike. If Wike comes out to support Atiku he will lose governorship election. He is afraid of the massive number of Obidients in the state. Even if Ayu resigns Wike will grab another thing. His disagreement with Atiku has made him a darling of Obidients. Wike has lost the presidential ticket and nothing interest more than delivering his governorship candidate.

Lol, you allowed emotions to do the talking and not logic. You don't understand how politics is played in Nigeria. If it were only PDP and APC, Wike would have no choice than to make peace with Atiku knowing that Atiku will easily win not just Rivers but the entire SS and SE with or without Wike's support. Obi has given Wike an option and he is using it perfectly.

How is Tinubu strong? Where is Tinubu popular in Nigeria today? Even many Yorubas are distancing themselves from him because they know he has nothing to offer except corruption. Only extremely ethnocentric Yorubas or those directly gaining from Tinubu are still supporting him. If you think muslim Northerners will prefer Tinubu over Atiku, it shows how naive you are.

Tinubu is already out of contention if you can really understand what is happening now. Tinubu was only banking on vote buying and rigging to win to but they've frustrated him out.

Someone who understands the game playing out!

Wike is smart and is playing chess with PDP. He doesn't want to make peace with Atiku because it wouldn't make any difference for him, instead by continuing to drag Atiku and PDP around, he will be buying time while also having the entire Rivers people behind him. If he makes peace with Atiku, majority of Rivers people will abandon him because most are now Obi-dient.

By remaining in PDP, Wike will have control over both PDP and Labour Party. It is the cult following he is enjoying that he is using to build his status as a Southern leader and champion.

Wike's plan is to drag his roforofo fight with Atiku to the election Eve then he will ride on Labour Party popularity in Rivers by telling them vote Obi at the national while PDP at the state level.

Watch most of Wike's rhetoric and you will see he is always involving the Rivers people like they're the ones fighting Atiku

This the game. All those southern governors understand this. Ikpeazu and even Ugwuanyi. Anyone that openly goes against Obi has lost the election. U can see even Umahi is indirectly supporting Obi.

He is kinda blackmailing Atiku

He knows Atiku will need his support to beat Obi in the south

Una too like..wahala ..!! What happened to agreement

Let's ayu resign simple..there is no two way about it. As e dey pain them e dey sweet us..as e dey sweet us e dey pain them..

You pulled this one right from your arse.

I am guessing you are Igbo cos only your tribesmen reason so foolishly. APC govs in the North won't lose their vote to Atiku cos it will also come back to haunt them. Make you fools get sense. Atiku ks also not Buhari, plus MKO Jonathan have all defeated northerners in their region. Only bigoted deluded foolish Igbo do not see such happening again when APC as more governors in the North.
