Beyond securing your own seats and giving your likes like Umahi, a "fighting chance" to become V.P candidate in 2039, what would the Igbos gain from voting Tinubu in 2027?

AK481:
Wike have finished his bad job and he is of no use again .
His job is to destroy pdp from inside and he has done just that .

Unfortunately for him the vacuum the death of the opposition caused have been filled perfectly by ADC .so the net effect of that caricature he did with pdp is zero .

Since he has refused to join apc , fubara with underground support of top apc govs like the imo strongman hope uzodinma have first him to decamped. Wike is now useless .

In america movie , if you finished doing a job for the kingpin as you are handing over the briefcase , you dey collect kala for your chest straight .

This is what has just happened .

Succinctly put. Tinubu invested a lot in using Wike to destroy the PDP and even the LP, thinking they will be no opposition. Instead, he succeeded in making opposition stronger by uniting them under one umbrella while leaving the anti-democratic stigma on himself. Tinubu is now seeking to extricate himself from that by cutting off Wike. Wike won't go down without a very painful fight that will hurt the APC.

southsouthking:
Don't worry. APC will collect, too. This is just the beginning. Very soon, APC data boys will start telling Wike how they truly feel about him while pretending in the last 2 and half years to like him.

I will be here drinking my aromatic schnapps.

They have already started. Betrayal is their motto.

seunmsg:
Like I have said severally, Wike needs to calm down and stop fighting the governor. He could attack Fubara and get away with it when Fubara was in PDP. Now that he’s in APC, the party structure will come to his defense.

Fubara doesn’t even need to say anything now before high ranking officials are coming to defend. That should tell Wike that it’s time to backdown and restrategize.

Typical. Now that Wike has delivered his own side of the bargain and courted many enemies while destroying the PDP as agreed, you all are now turning against him. This is becoming a familiar pattern with you all. The only moral lesson anyone can take from this is to never go all out in support of Tinubu. Indeed, no "good deed" goes unpunished. Why accept Fubara into the APC to double cross Wike when Tinubu's signature is on an agreement that he's not coming back? Wike will bring the whole house down like Samson.

Now that Wike has delivered his own side of the bargain and courted many enemies while destroying the PDP as agreed, Agbadorians are now turning against him because they think they have him cornered. This is becoming a familiar pattern with them all. The only moral lesson anyone can take from this is to never go all out in support of Tinubu. Indeed, no "good deed" goes unpunished. Why accept Fubara into the APC to double cross Wike when Tinubu's signature is on an agreement that he's not coming back? Wike will bring the whole house down like Samson.

All this one na tory! Tinubu must keep to the agreement he signed with Wike or kiss his Rivers votes goodbye.

Agbadorians are throwing Wike under the bus already? Half of those numbers was him destroying PDP on Tinubu’s behalf. Tinubu will become the 48th person if he does not abide by what he signed. Agreement is agreement and heaven will not fall!

sleek214:
Infighting will destroy APC

That's what happens when one attempts to eat from multiple pots at the same time. Rivers is just first of many. Similar problems exists in most states with newly defected governors. The implosion is inevitable.

badoh:
Senator Basiru cannot have this boldness if he doesn't have the backing of the presidency. Wike needs to humble himself now and find a way to settle with Fubara as soon as possible cos it seems he's about to be discarded. He's overrating himself and his fall is near. Tinubu's plan is to handover APC rivers structure to Fubara with the support of Magnus Abe, if Wike decamps to ADC, he will still lose so he should borrow sense now and resolve with Fubara as soon as possible. In fact, if he's not careful, he may be sacked as FCT minister and EFCC will do the rest, my point.

Tell Tinubu to bring it on! You see this Fubara matter, agreement is agreement even if heaven will fall!

seunmsg:
Wike himself needs to cool down. He’s overplaying his hand. There is a saying that “he who runs away from fight leave to fight another day”. “Maja masa lafin mo okunrin ogun”.

Now that Fubara is in APC, he should stop attacking him. His position as FCT minister is guaranteed. He singlehandedly nominated all the political appointees from Rivers State. God has been so kind to him. It’s time he let the governor be.

We want a united house in Rivers State and Wike is doing everything to make that impossible. If he wants to take control of APC in the state, he should resign from PDP and join the party. If not, he should leave the governor alone.

Lol. It gives us great pleasure to see your party in disarray. Last last, Tinubu will fold and throw Fubara under the bus. When Wike tells you agreement is agreement, you better take that to the bank and deposit it. All you and Tinubu care about, is his own ambition. This Rivers vote don hook una for throat.

kpakpakpa:
Wike too like trouble. I trust my president to put him in his place at the right time. APC is a party that can not be spoiled by one person like PDP.

Tinubu till 2034

Tinubu don baff? Let him try it and see! Wike will bring the house down on everybody.

Linzo:
You're right, because in Delta state here, it's will be only by extreme God's grace that will make Sheriff to return as governor

Same as in Akwa Ibom!

E don happen! The giant with feet of clay is beginning to crumble o. But where are Tinubu's NL resident lackeys sef? Seunmsg, NgeneUkwenu, come o!

Linzo:
Okay, that means moving to APC is a waste right

Exactly. Just as it will be for majority of the governors decamping today, having been promised protection and support. Tinubu will throw them all under the bus to secure his own re-election if he sees half a chance.

No. Tinubu will eventually fold. They can't dare go against Wike at this time. Wike will defecate on their parade. He has nothing to lose.

Oghene86:
Without Rivers State Tinubu would still win.so Wike your arrogancy is becoming too much

Are you sure? Where then will his votes come from?

Tinubu denied Ambode a return ticket and heaven did not fall. Wike will do the same because agreement is agreement. If una doubt am, tell Tinubu to put body!

Bullies only respond to show of force. On this Fubara matter, Tinubu will fold. The Agbadorian camp is already divided into two factions. This is just the beginning of their downfall.

whatmoreng:
This is a subtle threat. A veil message to APC and the Presidency. Don't take our support for granted, it can be withdrawn.

This Wike is something else, only time will tell where he will end this his political jamboree

Yes it is. Ajibola Bashiru is just the conduit. Wike's messages were clearly directed at someone far higher and I believe he has gotten the message. He should have used a long spoon before dining with the devil. Agreement is agreement!

Just imagine! Magnus Abe? Is this a way of pacifying Wike or checkmating him? Or is it compensation for his role in conniving with Tinubu to factionalise the Rivers APC against Amaechi in what was clearly the beginning of anti-party acrivities in the APC? Serious institutions of state are now been used to curry favour and settle political debts, all because of the desperation and inordinate ambition of one man? All I see is panic.

Ttalk:
You just say whatever comes to your mind. How is Magnus Abe appointment way of pacifying Wike?

Before you say anything go and check record and political tussles of Rivers state in the past 20 years

Okay. Is it his compensation for his role in conniving with Tinubu to factionalise the Rivers APC against Amaechi in what was clearly the beginning of anti-party acrivities in the APC?

Lol. As far as this Fubara matter is concerned, Tinubu, Ajibola Bashiru and their horde of Agbadorians must fold. Agreement is agreement!

yemmit90:
He would be eventually begged by the president to allow Fubara be but if Wike is indispensable to them and still insisted on the agreement, they will try not to offend Fubara too but simply allow all contestants to contest in primary. They can use Option A4 like they did to Ambode, and if Wike is too powerful as he claimed, Fubara can't get the ticket through this method.

The reality is that, governor can bring more votes than any individual politician in the state. The reason FG is still pampering Wike is because of what he did for them in the last election by rigging Obi out in Rivers state. Look at what they did to Kwankwaso despite his small God charisma. Though Wike is a very smart politician by quickly accepted to serve in APC government and immediately belong to the top caucus. Otherwise, he would've been used and dumped .

Lol. Is that the position Tinubu has now found himself? Well, he better start begging. But I can tell you for free, as long as this Rivers matter is concerned, Tinubu must fold! What have they done to Kwankwaso? Lol. Why are you counting scores when the battle is yet to be fought?

Lol. Melembe melembe. The game is just getting started. You go see permutations and combination, you go bow.

I think you have bigger things to worry about your party's affairs. Tell Tinubu to dare Wike and find out.

simpleseyi:
.
Not impossible. Obasanjo’s daughter did it. David Mark daughter did it. El-Rufai’s sons did it and some other thieves too. Tinubu hasn’t done anything like this, yet they are convulsing over him

Hasn't he? Is Senator Remi Tinubu a joke to you?

Farmsolution:
Why is this wike so desperate
....... No man knows what will happen tomorrow,
surely they shall gather ...........

Make Tinubu put body by betraying Wike first. Then he will find out. Agreement is agreement! As far as this Fubara matter is concerned, Tinubu must fold.

If Tinubu knows what's good for him, he should pitch his tents with Wike. Only rigging can get him Rivers votes in the presidential elections. Sim will not shed blood to deliver him come 2027, unlike the other party. Beyond the eye-service sycophancy, the people of Rivers are not with Tinubu.

odinga1of:
Oga Makinde wants to remain in PDP and enjoy what Wike is enjoying.

He won't join ADC coalition

Read the comment you quoted again. Slowly this time. What if there's no PDP or Wike's faction have their way through the courts? Will he still remain in PDP, support Tinubu or work for the opposition? Your guess is as good as mine.

If wishes were horses, beggars will ride. The panic from the Agbado camp continues to escalate.

2027 loading. If Tinubu succeeds in destroying the PDP, Seyi Makinde will pitch his tents with the coalition.
