One thing I found out about you is that you like to lie to yourself a lot.

This was how you were assigning funny figures to Atiku and Tinubu in the Southeast and Southsouth before the elections; I told you it won’t happen but you argued you a are a professor of ‘real politick’.

What later happened? Tinubu and Atiku both struggled to get up to 5% of votes cast in the entire southeast. Southsouth wasn’t any different either but for INEC’s rigging.

Now you are back with another round of self deception.

I can take what you said about other people because they appear realistic but how did you arrive at your conclusion about Wike?

Let me tell you the reality on ground, like I told you before the elections, Wike is the most hated politician in Rivers State in particular, and the entire Southsouth in general, as of today. If he contests in a free and fair House of Assembly election today, he would fail even if his opponent is a stone.

What you are mistaking for popularity is just his network of criminal structure within the PDP across some Southsouth states. But for the fact that these guys are associating with him alone, they have lost popularity just like Wike.

Things were even better for Wike before the election. But after doing what he did during the election, he buried himself by himself. That’s why he’s struggling to get a post in Tinubu’s govt so he can stay relevant.

As you didn’t before the election, I don’t expect you to believe what I’ve said here, not like I care, I just wanted to state the facts as they are; like I always do.

Emmanuel Udom is far more popular and influential in Akwa Ibom compared to Godwin Akpabio.

Furthermore Ex-Governor Ifeanyi Okowa gave Ibori the very first defeat of his political career.The APC candidate despite all the noise could not even make any headway in the Governorship elections.

Go sleep joor. You need a brain rest.

Somebody that delivered the entire Rivers State to his PDP from governor to senators to reps members to assembly members and delivered the state for Tinubu is not popular? With all the obidiotssssss noises in Rivers State,the LP couldn't win a single seat anywhere in Rivers State.


Your tears and pains of defeat won't change facts.

The most popular politician from the South South remains Goodluck Jonathan.

You cannot claim to be popular if you haven't been elected into a public office with votes outside your state of origin.

All those politicians listed up there fall into the same category.

he is far more than what the op described him as.
There is no single governor that can do what he did in the last general elections in rivers.
It takes guts, political sagacity, ruggedity, connections and a very deep pocket to do what wike did in rivers during the last elections.
In terms of Influence, maybe very soon in the future his dynasty will crash like a pack of cards mostly if he is sidelined by the tinubu govt but for now....... Baba just comot hand for that manchi matter.

Does this your SS include Edo? Can Wike get 5 unmobilized supporters if he goes to Benin today?

Can Wike walk in the streets of Yenegoa without being pelted with pebbles?

Can Wike walk the streets of Asaba in Delta? Or even Warri?

Except he goes with Akpabio, can Wike draw out 50 people on his accord if he’s in Uyo?

How many people rate him in Calabar?

Even in his own Port Harcourt, nobody rates Wike.

So, where in Southsouth is Wike popular?

I want facts, figures, numbers and pictures if possible, and not conjectures.
