I know. That has been your pattern.

This so-called journalist. Listen to Rufai at your own peril.

He stood on the sidelines and watched the PDP disintegrate. Taking pleasure only in the speculations about his plans to contest in 2027.

Exousiang01:
You Nigerians are the greatest enemy of Nigeria.....

Nobody hates Nigeria like Obidients and co hate Nigerians....
I feel sad carrying the same passport as things like you

You see them online disparaging Nigeria, especially on international platforms. Same people are pushing Fubara. They are now emergency supporters of Basiru. Driven by the mentality that "if they can't have the presidency, let Nigeria burn." It is why they go about inviting Trump or anyone they believe will fulfil their fantasy.

Mtcheww. Stand indeed. Stand-up Comedians. If you like sit or fly. Hope Uzodima will learn that Rivers State is not Imo State. Hypocrite. Later you will see him also wanting to be a godfather.

He will release anything, but the Epstein list.

Dele na my boy, Dele na my boy. Keep Wike's name out of your mouth. I know you want attention from someone with capacity.

reddingtonblack:
Can you please shush rarher than insult our intelligence here, i can mention over 42 people in politics long before Wike ... who is Wike when dem Atiku were setting up PDP even Amaechi have being in politics before Wike how many people is Amaechi fighting up and down

What nunsense talk, did Wike first Saraki or David mark enter politics ... why not make the list for saraki and david mark

Nobody is obssessed with Wike, ofcus when madt man enter market he gets people attention ... as they watching no be say they are enjoyin what they see instead they are rebuking such condition and prayin sumtin takes the mad man away for good.


i was so glad the Day Wike admitted after Tinubu he is the most insulted person in Nig. ... thank god he knows aso rock is off limits for his life and people like that even if he goes to senate he can't act like emperor there, boredom will kill him eventually we wait

You failed to convince me with your ramblings. Quit your obsession with Wike.

Wickedtruths:
For the simple reason that Obidients are backing Fubara, he will lose again. Guaranteed.

True. If Fubara was in charge then, Rivers State would have been doing sit at home.

Putindbutt:
I will never turn my back against Wike. Wike could be very temperamental and seems to have an aggressive approach but do not forget he's a lawyer who picks his fights wisely. Wike hardly fights on the wrong side.
Fubara ran into APC for protection, Wike didn't run to Tinubu for protection, he supported Tinubu from day one when everyone else was hiding. He stood by the President gidigba during the hardest period and pulled the chestnut out of the fire.
The issue is that Fubara is a very stubborn man, he surrounds himself with enemies of Wike in Rivers State, those who did nothing for him to become Governor. Many of them sitting down with him to share dinner did not even support him during the election but Wike put his life on the line for him.
However, since the peace deal was brokered, Fubara has refused to honor the agreements. How can a Governor refuse to work with the state lawmakers and LG chairmen?, how can you run governance alone?. That's the issue Wike has with Fubara.
Wike needs nothing from Fubara, he is the FCT minister, he has his own budget, he doesn't need Fubara to get money. When Fubara refused to pay the 27 lawmakers, Wike was responsible for their welfare. He was also carrying PDP until Makinde destroyed everything.
Wike's demands is simple, work with the lawmakers and chairmen, if you don't, you won't get a second term.. simple!. How can you ignore those who worked for your election and you dinning with the enemies of your godfather?.
I hope when the President comes back, he would talk to Fubara to honour his own side of the agreement otherwise, his second term is at risk.

Experience matters too. Wike is a veteran in politics.

Nicely put. Wike is not his mate in politics. There are levels to this thing abeg.

oshiokpu:
Tinubu is not stupid. Asides his utility value Wike is more relevant than most of the APC governors in the south/east. Most of the so called APC governors in the south/east cannot even deliver their states to Tinubu and they are governors. In fact they cannot even give Tinubu 25%. Peter Obi will win in all South east and majority of the South South state except Akwaibom and maybe Bayelsa. Even the so called national secretary cannot deliver Osun state to Tinubu. Tinubu will still loose Osun again.

Here's wisdom. President Tinubu should rely on Wike and his allies more in this period. There is an influx of emergency lovers of his party and saboteurs. He needs Wike and his G4 more than ever to put an eye on things. Politics is not about emotions. Politicians all over Nigeria are scheming.

For example, take someone like Fubara now. He has appeared before the president twice because of agreements and refused to honour them.

APC should be careful about how they surrender party structures to the elements rushing in. This mumu Basiru doesn't know anything.

The faction said Basiru’s suggestion that Wike’s support for Tinubu was no different from that of other non-APC supporters showed “amateurish political judgment”.



Shameless lightweight. Basiru should resign. I can see why he lost his election. He might bring that spirit to Tinubu. Whatever the case, he should never speak when someone like Wike is speaking.

Rightly so. He has broken numerous laws, international and domestic.

There are experts in different fields. Leave politics for Wike.

Leave no stone unturned. One key factor in all of this is Edison Ehie. Get that man arrested! He is a wanted man after all. The police will be held responsible for failing to do their job.

AMINDA:
I pledge allegiance to the Wike faction of APC. Our motto: Agreement is agreement.

Something even the president can relate with.

Look at what that lightweight Barisu is causing with his unguarded remarks. He should stay clear of our politics in Rivers State.

Kukutente23:
Giadom made the statement he made in public not in a phone call

A lightweight like Basiru cannot be talking when Wike is talking. He should stay clear of Rivers issues. He was not the one who put Fubara there. Lightweight Basiru can never be more Rivers than Wike. Crying more than the bereaved. Fubara doesn't deserve respect. A man who cannot keep to agreements made before the President twice. Trust him at your own peril. He will even sell the president because he clearly doesn't respect him enough to honour agreements.

While the clueless neophyte in Rivers State is sleeping. Pity

Kukutente23:
You don't seem to understand Bashiru's premise
He's talking to his fellow NWC member on the need to accord an APC gov respect in his public utterance
Fubara is in APC while Wike is not so whatever happens between them does not really concern Bashiru

Does he not have Giadom's number? Basiru knew what he was doing and got the response he deserved.

Whatever the USA is accusing you of, they have done worse.

SixSeven:
There is some difference sir. I don't support any of them but now that we have enough data to compare APC and PDP, we can see how two Presidents handled political ministers in their cabinet. Talk about democracy and APC 🤡 Coincidentally, Wike was a Minister under the PDP administration. Same person, different treatment. What's more important to the APC government or president? Power, politics and grabbing it. Little to no respect for governance or the people.

Newsdesk
President Goodluck Jonathan officially instructed his ministers with political ambitions for the 2015 general elections to resign on October 15, 2014.
During a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on that date, he directed those planning to contest for elective offices to submit their resignation letters by October 20, 2014.

Key details regarding this event include:

The Valedictory Session: A valedictory session was held on October 15 for seven ministers who had indicated they would be leaving to pursue governorship bids.


The Ministers Involved: The seven ministers who resigned following this directive included Nyesom Wike (Education), Musiliu Obanikoro (Defence), Labaran Maku (Information), Samuel Ortom (Trade), Emeka Wogu (Labour), Onyebuchi Chukwu (Health), and Darius Ishaku (Niger Delta).


Reason for Resignation: The directive was issued to ensure that government officials did not use state resources or machinery to fund or influence their personal political campaigns for the upcoming 2015 elections.

Earlier in the same year, on February 12, 2014, President Jonathan had also accepted the resignations of four other ministers, some of whom were reportedly leaving to further their own political interests.

Jonathan was referring to those with intent to run for political office. Understand the context.

Wike is not running for any office, but is a Rivers man with interests. He has the constitutional right to do what he is doing.

Not everyone is a lightweight like clueless Basiru in his state. Politics is local.

hohafrank:
You don't talk like that.Fubara will win convincingly because he will have the backing of federal might/INEC

The height of delusion. Fubara will lose. Even if he wants to campaign for re-election, what will he say he did for Rivers State? He has failed woefully.

Oghene86:
Chidi that is your national secretary you're talking to like that Wike would destroy his political career along with others. You all will go down with Wike, the APC executive in Rivers State would be dissolved and a caretaker committee would be appointed

The national secretary is a nobody with double standards. These people entered APC because of Wike.

Where was Basiru who claims he has integrity when Fubara referred to the minister as a barking dog? Why didn't he caution the governor? But he has an issue with "so-called governor" ? Fubara does not deserve respect. I hate pretenders.

Fubara is surrounded by criminals and militants. Check his support base. Google Asabuja. What does that say about him? We saw it last time before the state of emergency. They know Wike will defeat them. These people must be arrested and brought to book. Why hasn't the police arrested those who bombed the Rivers State Assembly?

Arrest Edison Ehie.

SisterAnn:
Let Wike stop the media bragging and bullying and go back to the trenches.
This what a real badass would do.

His continued media charade is futher hurting his already depleted political capital.

Everyone has their style. He has the experience to navigate.

He has been in politics for a long time. Why are some of you so clueless?

Now make the same list for others. There are numerous quarrels among politicians. Your obsession with Wike knows no bounds. Step into the arena and challenge him, if you want it so bad. Keyboard warrior.

APC can't save him. Political parties don't save people. It is a platform. Fight your battles yourself. His constant need for help shows he is a liability. Wike did everything for the ingrate last time.

Leave all the posturing from busybodies like Basiru. At the end of the day, Wike controls the structures in Rivers State.

People are misinformed about the description issue. Description has nothing to do with deductions. The fact is that the tax law wasn't properly done. Poor and middle class people are still overburdened.

Point of correction Trump is not a coward

He is a coward and Pedo. All in the Epstein files.
