you're daydreaming... Can't you see that nobody is talking about PDP again grin...Nigerians are wiser now....LP has knocked off PDP.... Atiku has been exposed....

As it stands what happen in ekiti is the position that PDP will occupy next year February... 3rd position grin

Let's pray for atiku o
They said he collapsed after his failed rally in Kaduna and was flown to France for treatment... grin grin grin
be deceiving yourself here, Atiku/Okowa everywhere you go. As it stands today, Atiku Abubakar is the best presidential candidate so far. Edo State mega rally is next on this week Saturday. After seeing the massive turnout of the good people of Edo State, you will rant and wail as usual. Keep wailing here

Letter To Gov. Nyesom Wike

My dear brother in-law, Barr Nyesom Wike, I bring you greetings from Amangwuru village of Ekpelu community in Ikwo LGA of Ebonyi State. There's no need asking about your health and feelings; it's showing on your physiological construct. You are an Ikwerre man; my wife is an Ikwerre woman. I am your brother in-law and qualify to address you. I am Nwoba Chika Nwoba, Publicity Secretary of PDP in Ebonyi State!

Sir, take political life easy! Nigeria doesn't belong to you as an inheritance. Rivers State doesn't belong to you as an estate. You are drying up by the day due to the politics of do or die you have engaged yourself for some months now. You have only seven months to quit office as Governor of Rivers State. Your influence will start phasing away after the governorship election in March, next year.
It's then the reality of power transition will begin to dawn on you. Your erstwhile appointees will forget about you immediately. Your contractors will leave you. The number of your political associates will decrease drastically. All the attention will be focused on the new Governor and Government of Rivers State. Your name soon grows decrepit in the ears of the citizens the cacophony of your verbiage once reverberated. Everything about you will become old-fashioned. Your clangorous diatribes will fall in diminuendo.

Gov. Wike, brother in-law, Dr Peter Odili was Governor in Rivers State. He contested presidential ticket of PDP in 2007, pushing in Rivers' fortune into the surreal aspiration. He lost out. He didn't go insane about it. He didn't demand anyone's neck.
Hon. Chibuike Amaechi was Governor in Rivers State. He contested the presidential ticket of the APC in 2022 and came second as yourself. As Minister of Transportation, he focused transport infrastructure attention towards the North, thinking they would cede the ticket to him. They didn't. In 2015, he pushed in the Rivers' money to the struggle of establishing the APC and making it win the presidential election. Now that he has lost the ticket of the party, he hasn't called for anyone's jugular. He's maintaining silence, pursuing his Law degree in the university.
Getting to your turn now, you are going about it in most rustic of manners. The negative effects of the vengeful struggle you are pushing are showing on your outlook. It's giving your brothers in-law a dire concern.

Sir, Northern Nigerian people don't know friendship or camaraderie when it comes to electoral politics. Gov. Tambuwal showed you that at the PDP presidential primary election venue. You didn't expect it from him. He stepped down for Atiku Abubakar in the interest of the North. Wike, would you have stepped down for a Southerner if it had come to that option? You wouldn't, of course! Even at that, Gov. Tambuwal didn't do anything aberrant in politics. His action instead, shows how united and resolute the Northern political elite are in pursuance of central power.
If truth be told, you should not have contested the ticket against the South East. It was because of you that Peter Obi left the PDP. You have since after the exercise been engaging yourself in vengeful talk exercise. You gave out 25 buses to Cross River PDP candidates and cash last week. You have donated N300 million to the Lagos State APC's Gov. Sanwolu just to spite PDP. Lagos is times two richer than Rivers. One wonders if the wealth of the state of Rivers is your personal estate. To further press home your frustration, you derecognised Barr Celestine Omehia as former Rivers State Governor as a result of his not following you sheepishly. You recognised him earlier using the House of Assembly even as that shouldn't have been done in the first place. You have been witch hunting the lives and businesses of Rivers State politicians opposed to your journey towards perdition. You have voiced out things only a drowning life could do. You are trivialising the glorified Rivers governorship concept by virtue of your recent dishonourable invectives.

Dear brother in-law, may you get over the defeat hangover that has kept you in the cold, making you bleat as if an inheritance of yours or destiny has been tampered with. What you are playing is no longer politics. You are becoming an aimless villain. Power, they say, is transient. You will understand all you have been doing once you pull off the governorship garb adorning your body now by next year. Even the young man you work towards making Governor will disappoint you once he has assumed office as your kind of person will like to remain in power by surrogacy. It doesn't work out in most cases. You will soon be alone. The people you are hounding today for no social reason will use you like a plaything should they succeed in 2023. You may regret taking the route you are taking now with arrogance. You still have a little time gap to retrace your way for the sake of your sanity and political tomorrow. You now look like an octogenarian in your fifthies due to the unnecessary fisticuffs you have engaged yourself into. Rivers votes don't belong to you. You can't control them insofar as you think you could. The new electoral act has made it impossible for you to dictate the tune in February, 2023, dear brother in-law, Barr Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers State!

NCN.

Adeleke has a structure in osun built by the late Adeleke the first governor of osun...Its not Atiku factor..... Why are you Not talking of ekiti where PDP was a distant 3rd?....

You can see how naked PDP is now

Stop calling Jesus name....face reality
Atiku picked the wrong fight

He already lost
either Adeleke has structures or not, the electorates did their assignments very well by voting out APC government and their useless governor out of power. As it stands today, APC has been rejected in Osun State. It’s the egocentric behaviour of Fayose that allows Pdp to came distant third in the June 18th poll, it will never happen in February 25th, 2023 presidential election cos’ Ekiti State Pdp are now much united to defeat APC in the election in next year. APC votes buying will be adopt and it will never work this time in Ekiti State cos’ the people can now see the clueless egocentric emperor that allowed the Pdp to lose the governorship Election by presenting unpopular candidate in the poll. APC is a goner in all the 6 south west states.

The role Wike played in ensuring that Amaechi became governor in 2009 is general knowledge Rivers State and beyond. Ask Amaechi for more information on this situation, he will educate you.

Have you ever heard of Wike in another party other than PDP? It is Amaechi that has left PDP for APC; Atiku that left PDP to ACN and back to PDP.

How can you conclude Amaechi brought Wike to limelight in Politics?
Abeg there’s no role Wike played. You stop deceiving yourself here, Ameachi fought the battle well and he won the battle in the court of Appeal. Stop telling me lies and propaganda here. It’s not true, internet is there for us to read well on what happened.

you're blabbing and could not face reality.... Where are those that created PDP now? They betrayed PDP and shamelessly ran back...

anyway Atiku has lost this election....you know the PDP in 2019 is not the fragmented PDP in a sorry state that you have now....they have broken into 4 parts....(1)The peter obi faction has ripped off Atiku stronghold in the east and south south as you can hear "Obi kekerenke Obi" at Atiku uyo rally....(2).The kwakwanso' Kwakwansiya movement which was what Atiku hope on have left atiku while Ganduje has locked up the remaining kano votes using incumbency powers....(3) wike internal camp with 5 Governors have left Atiku ....Can Atiku win Lagos? no....

If you're still daydreaming please wake up...

I laugh hard when you said wike has been rejected in all zones, I ask myself if you watch TV.... See the APC crowd following him...telling him thank you sir at the women conference in lagos...wike is a moneybag...he just donated 300 million to women conference in Lagos..... I laugh became in Yoruba... Apo tó bá kún kìi ráre òré...a man will money filled pocket will never be rejected or lack people around him.....Atiku will be retired in 2023.... grin

Please stop calling Jesus Christ for Atiku mata
you shall like to wail and rant as your clueless empty chest beater Wike is wailing on the media space. Pdp are much united than ever before. It is divine by the Almighty God for Atiku Abubakar to rule this nation for good. Pdp is much united to defeat the incumbent governor of Governor of Osun State, Oyetola of APC, the clueless party destroyer in Osun State APC. Even in Lagos State Pdp will win the state. Nigerians are tired of clueless APC and the clueless drug baron Tinubu that called himself Emilokan. I say it again and again, Pdp are much united to defeat the clueless beast in power in 2023. Both the youths and the adults are much ready to send APC from power in 2023 presidential election. Up till today, the clueless APC doesn’t know their bearing at all. Edo State is next in the Pdp mega rally. It will be massive as expected. Keep on deceiving yourself ok. Not to forget, the incoming Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke won the July 16th governorship Election without the clueless empty chest beater Wike and Makinde and their camps. Each and everyone did their assignments well in Osun State to send the wrong signals to APC at the Center that Atiku Abubakar is coming to win the February 25th, 2023 presidential election. Keep on deceiving yourself here with lies and propaganda as usual. Tinubu tun ma lule piii Lekan siii.

Wike was first elected LGA chairman in 2009. He supported Amaechi strongly in the litigation that translated to the recognition of Amaechi by the court as the flag bearer of PDP in the governorship election and swearing-in as governor. Omehia mounted the seat of governor of Rivers State in 2007 till 2009 when Amaechi got justice in court. Amaechi can tell you more about that situation.

Amaechi would not have become governor of Rivers State without God's use of Nyesum Wike, a few others and the Court to validate Amaechi.

Wike is a kingmaker, undisputed champion in Rivers State, influential man of the South-South.

Try him and collect Wotowoto; sebi you are the pained ones now as Wike dey jolly and celebrate.
Na still lies and propaganda here, you can even say that Wike is the one of the foundation member of Pdp. It’s Amaechi that brought Wike to limelight of Rivers State politics. Everyone knows that. Don’t lie here Abeg. Internet no dey forget.

When Atiku left PDP for APC to defeat PDP.... Is that what you call a hero?

When tambuwal decamped to APC as a sitting PDP speaker with over 30 reps is that a hero?
Yet Woke kept the party together... Paying staffs... Paying NWC salary.... Now those you call your hero were beaten black and blue by their new party APC and begged to come back as a prodigal father's who already rocked the party boat sinking it but wike rebuild the ship and usher them back....including obaseki that was already disqualified by APC wike settled the PDP candidates in his own Edo state and obaseki was allowed to run and won...
Now....where is the southern presence in Atiku present nwc?
Atiku inability to cede to part of wike demands will make Atiku loss the election...
Shame is on Atiku...

You call it ranting but we in PDP saw injustice and I can't imaging myself spending another 8 years under a northern bigot. I was thinking that Atiku is gentle but to allowed this matter to drag this long exposed the fulanisation 'go to hell attitude " which is not good for a complicated country like Nigeria
lol why can’t you say it’s Wike that created the party then. You are a joker here, Infact No one knows Wike when Pdp was created in 1999. Wike is just a clueless empty chest beater seeking for public sympathy and clueless attention seeker. Wike is a goner, Wike has punctured his political career till Jesus Christ come. Wike has been rejected in all the 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Pdp has been taken care of by the leaders and members of Pdp.

A true hero is one who steps down and says “I am stepping down so as to reduce the numbers of those in the race and to reduce the unnecessary tensions”.

PoliticsAmidst Devastating Flood In Rivers, Wike Doles Out N300m To Lagos State Official by Johnnyessence(op): 10:31am On Oct 19, 2022
The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has donated the sum of N300 million to the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials, COWLSO.

Governor Wike announced the donation at the ongoing 22nd National Women’s Conference (NWC) holding in Lagos.

The donation is coming on the backdrop of recent devastating flood that has submerged some communities in the State, rendering thousands homeless, and without food.

Recall that over 200 communities in four local councils of Rivers State, namely – Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni (ONELGA), Ahoada West, Ahoada East and Abual Odual – have been displaced by ravaging flood.

In an address at the occasion, Wike said the involvement of women in politics and decision-making in Lagos State is what is making it continue to set the pace in the country.

He said he was amazed at all that COWLSO is doing in Lagos State and promised to replicate all that he had learnt from the conference in his State as well.

Governor Wike also used the opportunity to declare total support for the re-election bid of Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in the 2023 general elections.
