THE POLITICAL GLADIATORS OF SOUTH / SOUTH by Oboys12: 9:26am On Jul 26, 2023
Somebody sat down and complied APC members or better still those in Tinubu's camp and termed them as the top six most influential South South Politicians 😂
He mentioned, Nyesom Wike, Adams Oshomole, David Lyon, Magnus Abe, Godswill Akpabio and the Governor of Cross River 😂

Who is Lyon who is Magnus abe?

In the first place how do you categorize an influential person ? And what is the yardstick or indices? What is the scope, well in this case he said South South.
Well let me state categorically that apart from Wike, Akpabio and Oshomole others do not make the top six list
If only late Anthony Anehih was alive he would have been undisputedly the number but he is no more, again if Doctor Peter Odili was still active in politics he would have been on the list too, but he voluntarily resigned from active politics.

A list without Goodluck Jonathan, Rotimi Ameachi, James Ibori and Ifeanyi Okowa is not complete, the only 3 people I will accept from your list are Wike, Oshomole and Akpabio, but in all none can be compared to late Anthony Anehih and Peter Odili when he was active in politics

These children with emotional opinions.

"If" is different from reality.
Anenih had his time, and he's now late.

There was a time Lucky Igbinedion was the most powerful man in Benin. But can the same be said now?

Perhaps you don't know who is writing that's why you will make such statement,
Well let me ask you who made Lucky Igbinedion Governor in the first place, who subsequently denied him the opportunity of bringing is his successor. Anehihs influence was beyond the Edo State, he was a national figure. The name Mr fix it was not guy name but a name will earned under Obasanjo's era.

These people you mentioned have had their time and passed.
Whatever love they enjoy now is out of the respect and goodwill as statesman.
Politically none of them there can stand wike, akpabio and oshiomole.
The most useless one there is okowa.
