SmartPolician:
Congratulations to him!

He should step aside and allow younger people run the church while he advises from behind-the-scene.

His sermons are now extremely boring and uninspiring

Freshtruth:
Oshimen no play anything today my take

Dreal1247:
Fayose should be properly monitored. He can do anything for Wike to remain in politics as it guarantees the safety of his personal interest. He is a very good man. But full time politicians who have lost their grip on the national cake could be dangerous to good governance.

See them talk
Godfatherism
Slave trade

When obasanjo was president, did he control Lagos?
When Jonathan was president, did he control Lagos,
Buhari challenged tinubu when tinubu tried telling him what to do,
Buhari said: u can't be in Lagos and telling me how to rule,
Tinubu is fond of that, he wants the whole Nigeria to belong to his family ,
If u all don't open ur eyes , he wants to rule like Iran president and all other president that don't want to leave the presidency,
U hear obasanjo or Jonathan put mouth for him matter since he became president?
But he tinubu will want to be on top of everything they do

I don't know about you; but to me, this looks like an enslaved or defeated mentality. Or, a mentality in captivity

Politicstoday:
Wike vs His Ambition

I read that Fubara has traveled to France to meet with Tinubu. Good. But I doubt if there will be a public showdown between the presidency and Wike.

Tinubu may not speak publicly about the Rivers crisis again because he is not someone who talks a lot unlike the parrot in Rivers, who boasts and issues threats over every move he makes.

Tinubu went out of his way to intervene once and took sides with Wike suspending the governor for 6 months, yet Wike is still attempting to disrupt events and cause endless chaos.

Tinubu understands something critical that if Wike, who is neither president nor someone with Tinubu’s political structure or reach, succeeds in impeaching Fubara, he will become larger than life, and with access to the Rivers treasury, Wike could amass enormous power and eventually pose a threat to Tinubu himself.

We saw a glimpse of this in 2023, when Wike bought off PDP delegates, until those who understood the political chessboard countered him by merging Atiku and Tambuwal’s delegates for Atiku. Tinubu witnessed all of this and knows exactly the kind of political force Wike can become when backed by money.

For this reason, Tinubu will maintain his silence, but he will cut Wike down to size by ensuring he no longer has easy access to funds. At the federal level, Wike no longer controls money the way he once did. What remains is access to Rivers' treasury, because if he loses that, his ambition to be VP or President is dead. So, this is about survival for Wike. And he will rather die than have what will buy him power taken away from him.

The Rivers crisis is about one man's ambition to control Rivers and forcefully be your VP or President in the future. Wike should be resisted.

Afriifa:
I still don't understand Rivers People.
I am an Ijaw and delta Ijaw to be precise, and spent some of my holidays in my grand maternal home in Abonemena. I have had my experiences as a partly a Rivers person from childhood. These happenings have shown that the sophistry of Rivers people may be exaggerated because clearly, I don't understand how a state filled with smart, industrious personalities and prominent people from all sphere of life cannot sit down and resolve the greed of one mad person called Wike.

Nackzy:
Tinubu God brought wike to destabilise you

magoo10:
Tinubu will never sack Wike because he needs Wike more than bread and butter.
No other tinubu supporter whether from the southwest or wherever has the kind of liver Wike have to defend tinubu.
In all the noise of jagaban this jagaban that Wike is about to prove that he is the man behind the jagabandist.
