These guys (Tambuwal,Udom Emmanuel, Ihedioha, Ayu, Obaseki) are kids compare to Wike...
Main while he is a Rivers Governor, if you don't get it forget about it.

Wike has helped them in one way or the other in their political careers.

OriOko88:
Wike con look old. Mk atiku field fayoose or dele momoodu as running mate.. Dele momoodu is really intelligent. Watched his interview on nta on Saturday.
The point is PDP has some very intelligent members who could work wonders with atiku come 2023. Pdp could spring a surprise by transforming Nigeria in 2023.

Niorte:
Governor Tambuwal used to be one of the gentle northern politicians I hold in high esteem. However, from the two major encountered I have witnessed. This man does not deserve any trust.

First, he betrayed Femi Gbajabiamila by supporting Dogara for the role of the House Speaker. Gbaja will never forget Tambuwal in a hurry because he had thought he got a friend in Tambuwal until that incident took him off his feet.

Everyone can remember how Wike was dashing Rivers money to Sokoto government and how Wike stood by Tambuwal in his political trying times, of course Wike never knew there is a northern agenda against him and that same Tambuwal will be used to cause a set back to him.

TAMBUWAL is one of the new betrayer in modern Nigerian politics. Don't be deceived by his calmness, that governor is playing politics like maradona

allcomage:
The southern Nigerians are educated fools. The fulani North had restructured Nigeria for their subjugation and the south kept mute. Now fulani that are less than 7million want retain power for another 8yrs or in peptuity.I salute ipob for taking up the gauntlets.

joyandfaith:
I think obaseki can be running mate to atiku as governor of state. If pdp wins, bye election will be conducted for governorship position. If pdp looses, he continues as governor.

Pierohandsome:
Atiku was a governor elect when he was chosen by Obj as running mate. So Obaseki 1year and 7 months into office is not a disqualifying factor that he can't vice Atiku

36STATES:
You are absolutely correct. Mbaise people were right in rejecting him. Arinze is the guy putting his men as bishop all over. Don't be naïve to think that nepotism does not exist even in same community.

Mbaise is made up of 3 local governments with the highest concentration of catholic priests per population anywhere in the world, but none has made it to bishop cadre. Amuzi Ahiara Ahiazu Mbaise, one of the over 40 communities in Mbaise has a population of about 2500 people with more than 30 priests in the 90s when I was growing up; my father used to head one school there. At that time, those Amuzi priests were heading The Dominican fathers, The Holy ghost fathers and one other catholic denomination I can't remember. (Fathers Otibe, Father Ndugbu, Father Ekechukwu. Mbaise are some of the most educated people in the world, not even Nigeria.

Ojukwu declared Biafran independence in Ahaiara Mbaise, there is a reason for that. Mbaise are fearless people and don't have time to stomach injustice

Kosoco:
Absolutely Nonsense

oikirodah:
The PDP's primaries throughout the nation came to a close yesterday, capping months of horse-trading by political gladiators. Finally, as predicted, HE Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was elected as the PDP's presidential candidate.

Prior to the presidential primaries, five key figures were pencilled in for a possible vice presidential slot in the event of Atiku's expected victory: Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State, Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, and Peter Obi of Anambra State.

According to the current state of affairs, the battle may have been reduced to only two prominent contenders, which are Obaseki and Okowa. (While Atiku with a Wike vice presidency may be the greatest option for the PDP, this squad would be the most difficult to defeat.)

Okowa has a huge edge over Obaseki because he is considered as a noble and quiet gentleman who is very grassroots focused, whereas Obaseki is seen as a competent economist who is politically controversial.

In fact, a day would be devoted to analyzing Nyesom Wike, Ifeanyi Okowa, and Godwin Obaseki's chances for the VP, but not today.

Expectations vs Reality.

Unfortunately, Obaseki's relationship with the Edo State People's Democratic Party has deteriorated to the point where nothing can be done to repair it. The PDP has held INEC-recognized primaries, and there is no way to reach an agreement now that candidates have gone through HELL to obtain the party's ticket.

Obaseki is currently caught between two worlds; he cannot quit the PDP at this point because he would have lost the campaign for the Vice Presidency just the same way Peter Obi excluded himself by leaving the PDP. On the other hand, Obaseki needs to get his warriors into the legislative chambers, particularly the State House of Assembly.

So here's the political math: whatever motivates Atiku to choose Obaseki as his Vice Presidential Candidate ahead of others gives him the upper hand. He becomes the party's leader in the state automatically, and everything will be done to ensure that they win the presidency.

With Obaseki preparing to run for vice president, he may have to relinquish his position as governor to face the rigors of the presidential campaign, which is where Philip Shaibu comes in.

Philip Shaibu's ascension to the throne at Dennis Osadebey Avenue would shift the game and, of course, reclaim control of the PDP from Dan Orbihs's grip.

That is essentially where the story begins if Atiku provides Obaseki the vice presidential slot; but, if Atiku fails to pair with Obaseki, then Obaseki's political career may be over.

Now, in order for Obaseki to ensure that its aspirants who have moved over to the Labour Party win, he would have to openly decamp from the PDP to the Labour Party. This means that Labour becomes the state's ruling party right away, thereby making it a third force.

Obaseki can use the State apparatus to promote the Labor Party and ensure its candidates have the support of the public. Failure by Obaseki to officially abandon the PDP will spell disaster for its candidates . Many of the Labor party candidates would never be able to fund their campaigns in the state against their APC and PDP opponents without the backing of the STATE.

Matters Arising:

If Obaseki leaves the PDP, he will be met with a stern rebuke by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, who previously threatened to shave his head if he left the party. Obaseki's decision to join a third party in three years will inevitably weaken his support base, as not all of his PDP supporters will join a new party with no structure across the state.

So the matter is quite intricated and a duble edge sword it could go the right and as well go the wrong way. How all these plays out would be seen in the next of couple of days as Time is of essence here.

OLULAW:
And to this day, Ahiara RC Diocese has no bishop. Long may the status quo remain. May you be uplifted to the highest and loftiest position like Okpaleke even as your enemies - like Ahiara Catholic diocese - remain stagnant.

ppogba:
God bless you.
With people like you,. history will not be distorted in the future.

Kudos.

Arysexy:
Mbaise rejected Bishop keep getting elevated while Mbaise is without a Bishop.

When you rise above hatred, you grow and excel.

Mbaise should learn
