In May 2023, former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, warned Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, against falling out with his predecessor and political godfather, Nyesom Wike, if he wants to govern the state peacefully.

Fayose gave the warning at a State Banquet held to honour Wike after he handed over office to Fubara.

Recall that Fayose, who is known for his outspokenness, described Wike as a “troublemaker” and that it is better to be with him than against him.

He also advised Fubara to clothe Wike in a garment of honour and to close his eyes completely to avoid seeing anything that could cause problems between them.

The former governor’s counsel to Fubara has become relevant in the wake of developments in Rivers, where lawmakers of the state’s House of Assembly impeached the majority leader, Edison Ehie, known to support Fubara and oppose Wike

Prior to this, suspected thugs on Sunday night invaded the Assembly complex and burnt part of the building in a supposed attempt to stop Fubara’s impeachment.

All of these are coming merely six months after the transfer of power between the former political allies.

Fayose’s words have turned out to be prophetic, as the relationship between Fubara and Wike is now believed to have deteriorated to the point of open conflict.

“I used to be a tough man until I met you and realized that troublemaker ‘get level’,” Fayose said, adding in Pidgin English “Because somebody wey no dey tire and say he will fight you, you have to find a solution to your problem. So I made up my mind, it is better to be with you than to be against you.

“The Englishman says if you can’t beat them, you join them. And that will be the basis of my advice for the new governor.

“Whether you like it or not, give it to Wike. Whether you like it or not, he has set a pace. Anybody who tries to reverse that pace would mess himself up.

“He has placed this man in a position (that) till eternity, as long as he lives, nobody can rubbish him. He came, he saw, and he conquered.

“Let me tell you today, Governor Wike and Governor Fubara, this plane you want to start flying now, I flew that plane before you by the grace of this man.

“Sir Sim Fubura, you must clothe this man in a garment of honour. For me to be governor of Ekiti, I suffered. I suffered. In the course of the governorship, I was removed.

“I want to say to you, sir, you came in with the hands of God. You are a miracle governor. Today, you are the governor of this state by the grace of this gentle, old, responsible father of democracy in this state.

“My brother, the day your eyes begin to see, you will miss the road. Close your eyes completely. Maybe if I have a Godfather, I won’t have trouble. Maybe if I had a Godfather Our father here (Peter Odili), and Wike, I would not have problem. I didn’t have one, they all oppressed me, and they showed me Pepe. So, the moment your eyes begin to see in this government, you will have problem o.

“The way you would use your eight years is in your hands.

“Like Adam and Eve, the very day Adam began to rationalise God’s words and realised that ‘I’m now a man,’ he entered the gutter.

“Don’t see more than you are supposed to see. The moment you want to see more than you’re supposed to see, you will see spirits o. I know Wike o. If he says he will fight you, it’s either you surrender or you look for that trouble to the end. God will not find you Wike’s problem o.”

Very apt! It should be the 49th Law of Power..."Don't see more than you are supposed to see..."!

Rubbish..

Apart from clinging to Tinubu and Gbajabiamila, what power does Wike have again?

Let him resign his appointment and fall out with APC and coman base in Obio Akpor, et us see the power he has.

Cowardly advise

The only power a politician should brag about is the power of love by his people; mass followership and love from grassroots.

Not power to manipulate the judiciary and use security forces to gain political advantage...

Don't mind them.

They use mouth to condemn Ambode and use the same mouth to condemn Fubara.

African poeple don't love their leaders but the position power of their leaders . This is why you see many past leaders were deserted immediately they leave that position that made poeple to love them. Everyone of them are powerless once they don't have offices to hold.

So why the fuss and so much ado about certain politicians when all the power they have and exert is based on the position they occupy and the instrumentality and force of the state?

A politician steals enough money to manipulate the law enforcement and the judiciary they begin to praise him.

And then you hear their fellow politicians warning people not to mess with them.

Politicians buy love from Citizens that is why they steal BCS they want to remain loved .

Fubara is still dealing with wike. Bribing judges won’t get him anywhere.

When they’re done killing our judiciary, Naija will turn into a complete zoo. Survival for the fittest. APC should just continue while we keep record
