This is not true.

Wike is powerful because when Atiku left PDP in 2014 to work against PDP in the 2015 election, Wike stayed behind. Wike funded the party after Goodluck Jonathan lost the elections.

Gradually, Wike funded many people's elections. How he got the funds can be investigated.

Atiku returned in 2017. He hustled for the ticket. He won it. He picked Peter Obi as running mate without due consultations with the PDP southeast causus. Wike worked for the Atiku-Obi 2019 ticket. He even visited Tinubu at night to ask Tinubu to back Atiku, considering that pre-2019, Tinubu was considerably sidelined. When Tinubu asked WIke who'd replace Buhari, Wike mentioned Atiku, Saraki, and Company. Tinubu said if those were the alternatives, he'd stick out his neck with Buhari till the end despite being sidelined by Buhari's men.

Tinubu earned Wike's respect with that display of loyalty, and they started a friendship according to Wike.

In 2019 after Atiku lost the election, Wike, who was one of the funders of Atiku's run was immediately sidelined. Recall that Wike had originally pitched his tent with Tambuwal, but was convinced by Jonathan to support Atiku.

In 2022, Tambuwal was to step down for Atiku in an election Wike was contesting. Wike felt undermined and made some demands to Atiku, following his defeat. Atiku refused to honour terms. There were rumours that had Atiku won that election, he would have jailed Wike. So the 2023 election was also about Wike's political survival. He therefore teamed up with a strong candidate to guarantee his own survival.

Dele Momodu has not forgiven Wike for threading the path that guaranteed his own political survival.

Wike became a behemoth, not because of Tinubu, but because of the likes of Atiku who could not wait to build the PDP because of their personal ambitions. Wike has funded many politicians and they have showed they'd not bite the fingers that helped them. Bala Mohammed spoke against Wike, but stopped when Yakubu Dogara revealed that Wike funded Bala's election.

Dele Momodu also received PR contracts from Wike as governor. Today, Dele has turned against Wike, because Wike's choice for his (Wike's) political survival ruined Dele's ambition of political visibility under an Atiku government.

Dele Momodu has not won any election and has no business projecting as an expert on Tinubu and Wike. He has demonstrated he is poor in political PR.

Atiku would have jailed Wike for what exactly?

For working for Tinubu or for stealing Rivers money?

Which one?

The social media is the realest leveler there is. Imagine an O.S.U teaching a sovran elementary English.
Let me school you a little. “It is not entirely about desperation” (emphasis on “not entirely”) means while desperation is part of it, it’s not completely true.
Now, a sensible person would tell us what other thing was responsible for the thing being discussed since he had earlier claimed that it’s not ENTIRELY about desperation. Since it’s not entirely about it, then what other thing is responsible for his actions? Since desperation is just A part of it, something else must be involved but you failed to tell us that thing and went on to say this “anyone who had the kind of popularity Obi had in that 2023 would be desperate to try his luck” in the next paragraph and the craziest part is that you’re still arguing
I’m not shocked a bit since you’re just like Peter your mentor. Remember he once said “ The Biggest drain to our foreign exchange is foreign exchange”
Are you just pulling my legs or this is how you think irl? I’m dead curious right now because wtf?😂
Arguing with people who take that man seriously should be the most stressful, draining and silly thing to do tbfh😂

Updated:
Sincere apologies. Maybe I’m a bad teacher but let me try to explain a little better now and in the simplest way possible. I’ll be doing that with your own very statement.
You: “ This simply means that "yes he is desperate but there are other reasons beside desperation"

Me: what are these other reasons beside desperation?”

You: anyone who had the kind of popularity Obi had in that 2023 would be desperate to try his luck
Me : 😕
Just like Peter Obi who said “The Biggest drain to our foreign exchange is foreign exchange”
Likeeee, what’s going on bruhh?
Do you get it now or we should commit your situation into the hands of God? I sincerely don’t know what other way to explain this😂

lol

This thing is not so difficult na!

1.Your first paragraph is exactly what I just school you on,, which you failed to understand in the first instance.

Am glad you now understand the meaning of something being "not entirely about desperation"

You've been able to distinguish it from being "entirely not about desperation"

Thank me for that.

2. My initial statement which required more of deductive reading than a literal reading I had said
"anyone who had that sort of followership would be desperate to try their luck"

Of course what I meant was 'motivated' to try their luck.
It was my first post so my use of the word desperate instead of motivated was casual.

So I believe you would agree that the statement
"Mr Obi has been motivated to try his luck on account of the organic support and love his got in 2023"

would suffice as another reason outside being desperate for power.

Surely you should understand this, I already gave you a lead.

So in summary;

1. Peter Obi is desperate for power.
2. Peter Obi is motivated by the organic support and love.

Are you happy now?

Jamiuokolaa:
Is it Tinubu that made him come 3rd in the last election?

Are you being mischievous?

Tinubu had many Governor and LGA Chairmen working for him.

Atiku had many Governors and LGA Chairmen working for him.

Obi had none...


Everyone knows that what Obi did in 2023 was unprecedented, that sort of performance had never been seen before..

Even Buhari when he was coming close that time, had a few Governors backing him.

Wickedlywicked:
I just asked the same question and you haven't answered😂. The person you responded to was talking about how desperate he (Obi) was to have proposed a single-term presidency and you replied him saying it's not entirely about desperation but in the next paragraph, you said anyone with the hype and name Obi made for himself in 2023 would be DESPERATE to try his luck. Like, you Dey okay so?
I was expecting you to tell us exactly what it was since it's not entirely about desperation. A right-thinking person would state what it was or perhaps, what it was partially about.
Someone is begging and settling for one-tenure presidency after trying his luck and exhausting all his divisionist antics and you’re still saying it’s not entirely about desperation.
Dude just want to have a taste even if it’s just one term😂
And you're still here talking about comprehension.
Blessed is the soul of Awolowo for the introduction of free education in the West. He introduced the brilliant idea at a time when some people's ancestors where still roaming stack naked and killing lizards with catapults. If and if only you had someone like Awo, maybe things would have been different.
You are being ignored now as I entertain only free-born people🤝

Do you know the meaning of the word "entirely"?

If I say;

"It is not entirely about desperation"

This simply means that "yes he is desperate but there are other reasons beside desperation"

It is different from saying;
"It is entirely not about desperation"


1. It is not entirely about desperation.
2. It is entirely not about desperation.

1 and 2 above mean two different things completely!

If you have any English teacher or anybody with common sense and logic around you, seek further explanation from them..


To reiterate my position in more layman's terms so you could understand;

Yes Obi is desperate to be President,, YES!

But another factor is the show of love and encouragement he got from Nigerians in 2023 that made him do so well despite breaking off from PDP and having no political structure like governors, senators and LGA chairmen to back him; simply organic support.

A lot of people know that if PDP had stayed together and Atiku's support had transferred to Obi as one PDP,,

Tinubu would have been roundly defeated..

Obi is being spurred on by the organic support he is receiving..

Osiris12:
Thank you Jesus hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

With all the freak offs you heard about, you are still calling Jesus.

Why are you disgracing Christianity like this?

helinues:
Peter Obi's supporters are in their minority but just lousy. You dont have the numbers

I see!

That's why he thrashed Emilokan in Lagos.

Even with all the rigging and clamp down on Obi supporters he still thrashed Emilokan.

Without a single governor, without any political structure..

Dey play!

Wickedlywicked:
You claimed someone is not desperate and the same you, also typed this “Any human being who discovers he has the kind of followership Peter Obi discovered in 2023 would be desperate to give it another go”
Hope everything is okay with you sir?
E reach to ask o

When and where did I say "someone is not desperate?"

Show me abeg!

Guy,, is everything okay upstairs??

I said and I quote
"It's not entirely about desperation"

Na wa oohh

Comprehension problems?

SoftSport:
So so desperate. I'm beginning to pity him. So much desperation just to be president but it's quite unfortunately he'll never get there. Nigerians will never allow that tribe to rule over them.

It is not entirely about desperation.

It is about the followership he has in Nigeria.

Any human being who discovers he has the kind of followership Peter Obi discovered in 2023 would be desperate to give it another go.

Let's get real, Tinubu cannot defeat Obi in a free and fair election.

Meanwhile people are still running around shouting "Wike is working"

Why not talk to your lawyers and sue?

You need to punish the purveyors of this "fake and malicious" news cus it's really tarnishing your image..

Abi are you afraid of suing?

I think he needs his lawyer more than loud mouth Werey Lere right now.

Jordan
Joachim

His name doesn't begin with J, neither is his wife's!


So what's his obsession with the letter J?

Is he doing it to bribe Jesus to forgive his sins?

Lol

Na normal tin

Wike replicating his blueprint in Abuja


The man doesn't care about human development, employment, necessities of life.

He only cares about capital brick and mortar..


The ones where kickbacks come in huge huge sums.

As long as there is a sharing formula.. No wahala.


For money it might be 50, 50.

For structure it is definitely 100, 0.

Their Governor will soon run to APC

Let them be sleeping on bicycle

This era of politicians want a soft life....

They tell you they want to join the APC so their people can reap the dividends and so they can serve the people better.

But it's all hogwash, meant for tales by 🌙 series!


The dont want to be in opposition, they don't care about building a party,,

They just want to hold their positions and install their successors, and then embezzle with no EFCC breathing under their backs..

I

Obiedun:
A state of emergency should be declared on PDP. The party is becoming nuisance. The party structures should be suspended

With Wike as sole administrator abi??

With Wike as sole administrator abi?

With Wike as sole administrator abi?

Lithiumite:
You rather the whole place be torn down just cause you hate Wike,s success..... Be in his shoes first before you can understand what he is going through.... Imagine someone who isn't married advising a married man how to run his home.

He has said many times that he would have no problem resigning.

Now is the time to do the honorable thing. Let him resign the state will not be torn down if he resigns.

Rivers has never had a situation like this

Where you see a governor following another peson. As in, jus dey follow follow.


So it is better to hand over the garri back to the rat?

It is better to have Rivers governed from Abuja?

So what has happened to the rat that was eating the garri?

Your otapiapia did not work?

Over the course of this conflict our eyes have seen and our ears have heard more than enough to know that this peace deal is nothing but sharing formula reactivated...

And the way this Fubara keeps addressing his supporters in such a condescending tone, is so disgusting..

The other time he told his supporters they were heartless and don't have forgiving spirit..

Now he is going to sit as Governor for 2 years and concede all the LGA chairmanship to his godfather...

How low can a man be willing to sink for power?

This man wasn't worth it afterall.

Holdup247:
Cambridge man, thank you for confirming that sim is a betrayer... After all the motivations from NZOGBU NZOGBU how far now?

Oga, go and read your books. Go and read your books. Go and read your books..

Holdup247:
you want to impeach who? The president? Because he suspended the betrayal of opobo? You must be joking... the betrayal is gone like gongongon...

Na normal thing na!

Black Africa!!

Where we love and worship our oppressors.


And by the way; It is betrayer not betrayal.

You should spend your time learning simple English language instead of wasting it dabbling into Rivers politics...

helinues:


Just as I initially predicted how things should go. The process is still yet to be completed .

Fubara should just focus on governance after his suspension expired. 2 years is enough to catch up with things he has missed

At this point Fubara would hardly even be able to carry out any "good governance" move without first checking with Wike.

He has surrendered full authority to Wike,

And technically, he is now Vice Governor, Ngozi Odu is deputy Governor..

Wike is the defacto Governor..

All this fight from the beginning was about sharing formula, nobody can pretend about this.

Over the course of this conflict, our eyes have seen and our ears have heard more than enough to know that the sharing formula has again been fully reactivated..

They will pretend to have peace for now..


The next problem will surface by the time all those who stood by Fubara and fought with him are excluded in the sharing formula...

I give them only 3 months, casala go burst again!

Agugbadin:
Your first assignment on resumption is to pay retirees all their outstanding gratuity.This is the only action that will differentiate you from Wike and you will write your name in Gold.

Lol

At this point Fubara won't even be able to do anything without checking first with Wike.

komekn:
This is public open undisputed CONFIRMATION .

That NIGERIA is being ruled by a confirmed indisputable Mafia Capone " Jagaban" there is no Rule of Law, he is above the law and is the EMPEROR, who everybody must bow.

Constitutional Democratic Governance is DEAD & BURIED[color=#990000][/color]

A sitting elected governor was suspended unconstitutionally, Illegally and Unlawfully and a civilian military coup instituted by force with a state administrator forced on the people.

Anchored ⚓ on an illegal unlawful and UNCONSTITUTIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY

11 PDP Governors instituted legal action to address the aberration as a matter of existential democratic emergency in the Supreme Court. What have we witnessed beyond all our wildest dreams.

The Nigerian Supreme Court , has refused to hear the matter, be being silent and denying justice ⚖️

Admittedly Fubara is not prepared to fight for democracy constitutional truth and justice. Call him a coward whatever it's not 🚫 important.

I can assure CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY is dead and we are effectively Monarchy with Emperor JAGABAN.

There has never truly been free 🆓 FAIR elections in Nigeria. But right now there will not even be a semblance of any election a good case study is recent Edo state Elections.

👍👍👍

1 million gbosas for you.

To make matters worse, around here we don't support good or bad,,

We support hausa or ibo or yoruba

We support Christian or Muslim

We support stomach or no stomach.

Lorechino:
In as much as I don't like what wike is doing,but he sabi play politics, just like BOLA, I WISH THEY CAN USE SAME ENERGY AND EXPERIENCE TO GOVERN NIGERIAN

There is a very fine thin line between corruption and "politics"

Like it or not,, a major chunk of what we call a good politician is corruption.
80 percent of the attributes of what you see and call someone a good politician is nothing but corruption.

Especially when you are a master in violating due process and embezzling state resources to sway and bribe people.

That's the hard fact of what we call a good politician around here!

helinues:
Good to read. Anyone not happy with this is a enemy of Rivers state progress

How ironic!

Is common sense so difficult??


So people who are pessimistic and feel that the reconciliation is an avenue to go back to all Fubara fought for;
Not to be remitting Rivers resources someone, not to be sharing allocation to people

They are the enemies?

Wike was declaring 11 billion as IGR,, as soon as Fubara quarrelled with Wike, he started declaring 21 billion.

So those people who are scared of the looting that might reintroduced are the enemy of the state??

Chai! Black man!!

Tinubuofemmanu:
That Kingsley Chinda has no purpose on this earth except being a conduit pipe for Wike's criminality

Maybe he will be the next governor or deputy governor after Fubara..

I just remember a man who was a Fubara supporter working with one of the Local Government Areas,, who battered his wife and divorced her for supporting Wike.

Now Fubara and Wike have settled.😁😁😁

Sharing formula re-established.

The only difference is that this time he will cooperate and give everyone their percentage.

Reno's boy.. with 850k salary..

I will not comment until this story is verified and confirmed.

For now lemme comment my reserve.

Holdup247:
what's wrong with the state of Emergency in rivers state? As for the Benue massacre our able service chiefs are on top of the GAME...

Three points

1. State of Emergency in Rivers is okay..
2. Removing the Governor is unconstitutional and an impeachable offence.
3. There should be a State of Emergency in Benue and Borno.
