Wike is not a presidential material; whether the actual president or the vice!

Fact! I wonder why people still think highly of him though

No sane politician will run with Wike. Wike is a thug who can never be loyal to anyone - Atiku running with Wike is like committing Harakiri.

Harakiri

That wike talks loosely doesn't make him a better politician than okowa. In political circles okowa is miles ahead of wike. Okowa started as a commissioner of health, then ssg, then senator and now gov while wike was a 2time local govt chair, CoS, junior minister for less than 4yrs and then gov. Who do you think has a better grasp on the Nigeria political space
Okowa started as a local government chairman,then commissioner for Agriculture then health during ibori, ssg during uduaghan,senator during uduaghan,now governor

Bullshit... I am from Delta state and can boldly say that Okowa is a political nonentity fortunate to get the governorship on the coat tails of iboris influence. Till tomorrow Okowa cannot win election in his ward if ibori doesn't approve. Is that who is going to capture the south for pdp over Peter obi and BAT? Atiku just committed political suicide

Forget the long story OP posted...
The simple reason why Atiku didn't choose Wike is that "two captains cannot run ship"

Una good morning

Wike has the money to prosecute a national campaign, that's why PDP wanted him. But, Okowa is the hand of Esau while Ibori is the real voice - and Ibori has money in bagfuls as well. SO, ATIKU'S RUNNING MATE IS ACTUALLY IBORI.

So easy to say now... Where was Okowa and Atiku in the heydays of APC dominance? Was it Okowa or Atiku who stood behind Ortom when he decided to leave the APC or was it Atiku who came to Edo state and turned it to a PDP state? If not for Wike where would PDP have been?

My brother, don’t get me wrong. I am not a big fan of Okowa either. I just don’t think Wike has the temperament to be a good President or Vice for that matter. I am almost certain that if you are a CEO you wouldn’t hire someone like him to be fighting and abusing everyone that he comes across while managing your business. That’s all.

You know nothing about okowa, okowa cannot election in his ward without ibori? You think only noise makers like wike knows politics.?
Okowa has been a rugged politician right from time, he was chairman of ika local government area during the time of GDM( grassroots democratic movement) do you know that this party metamorphosied into PDP during those early years?. He was commissioner for Agriculture and natural resources during ibori and health too.during uduaghan he contested for governor and came second only to udughan,uduaghan made him ssg , then he went to senate too and came back as governor ..na vice presidential candidate. U think say na beans.
Let me tell you the truth wike is like fayose .fayose was a noise maker and rabid dog just because he still has signature to ekiti state treasury .if wike come down as governor ,even his successor will bethray him and he will be a nobody I swear.

To me why they dumped wike is because of the way he usually speaks.

And most of the northerners dislike him because of the way he speaks about them.

So wike this is just a lesson for you!

Any way let vote for PETER OBI.
Always on about northerners. Just say hausa fulani muslims. Northern christians and northern minorities dont give a damn about atiku or the hausa fulani muslims who oppress them.Lets be clear.Atiku is afraid of his hausa fulani muslim people.Now he wont get 200k votes in the south.Muslims in general should be scared of southerners,christians and northern minorities Muslims. This election will make them sit up.

He would have stood a better chance with Wike though.

Okowa has also been a local government chairman and has never denied his igbo root. When quarried about the annual 30th May Biafra mourning day, he answered that people have right to mourn, that he was also mourning with them because he lost an uncle in the civil war.
Okowa is carved for great things, I remember when he won the pdp presidential primaries in 2006 but Ibori mischievously denied him the ticket and gave it to his cursin Uduaghan.
Okowa, was cheated, yet he did not go to court or make noise about it. He later became the SSG.
In 2014, Uduaghan and Ibori fielded Ibori's candidate Edevhie an Urhobo man to deny Aniomas their turn and deny Okowa another opportunity of becoming governor of Delta State. But against all odds Okowa defeated them all, since he had solidify his clout as the pdp leader in Delta and Southsouth.
He is far more intelligent and smarter than wike and many southern pdp politicians. His greatest asset in character is his ability to remain calm , even on a hot seat. Even in all the political struggles in Delta, during his tenure, Delta has remained peaceful in all.

So funny you. Ibori that is no longer on speaking terms with Okowa. You don’t know Delta politics. Okowa has reduced Ibori to a mere nuisance and of not much value.

Okowa started as secretary to Ika LG. When Ika North East LG was created he was the first chairman. All these were before he even became a commissioner.
Truth is, people don't get their facts about the man right before saying things about him.

Wike said he was not in to play second fiddle which means he never wanted the VP position. Make we rest abeg. All those shouting wike should have been picked will they in their right senses picked a person like wike as their vice if giving the opportunity?
How can someone open his two eyes and dive directly into the mouth of a hungry crocodile like wike. You do not trust a person like wike with power because he will use it against you like he did to Ameachi and all the PDP leaders in rivers state. When Uche secondus was rivers PDP chairman during the time of Peter Odili wike was begging to become obio akpo local govt chairman. You can see what he did to secondus Na.
Atiku do not rate southerners cause we are liberal and has been giving him block votes.Now its the turn of the south and a very good son of ours is contesting. We southerners and northern christians and minority muslims wont vote atiku. He would come a distant third this time.It will be between tinubu and obi.
Re: Why Atiku Dumped Wike Despite PDP Recommendation by FrauleinBlossom(f): 8:31am On Jun 20, 2022
He cannot contend with Wike's ambition, and to have such a VP behind you simply means your seat is not safe. Loyalty is very important when choosing a deputy...

u forget something, Nigeria is not okowa's state.

No one knows okowa.

Wike is more popular on the whole than okowa. this is not like the case of Buhari/osinbanjo because people already knew buhari and are tired of Jonathan.

So, osibanjo no really matter.

Now we have 4 very popular presidential candidate. with Atiku potentially a second or third figure in the line up of popularity.

He needs a vice that will be popular above anything. Wike got a lot of the northern votes. that means something. Shey, na when okowa go start dey convince yoruba and the north?

You think tinubu is taking his time because a vice does not matter?

Atiku made a grave mistake. His choice of vice to me has already cost him this election because okowa can only deliver his state. Wike would have covered a lot of ground. Thugs have more power when it comes to a test of popularity

AnambraPrince:
Governor Wike was the first Southern politician and sitting governor in history to challenge FG collection of VAT as unconstitutional and he is a big fighter of Southern interests despite political party differences. He puts the interests of Southerners above party interests.

Only Rivers and Lagos are fighting for VAT which will immensely benefits all Southern States and pave way for economic freedom. Imagine some people will be destroying billions worth of beer in the North but the same fanatics will be getting billions of naira from beer VAT the FG collected from Southern states. Is that not economic slavery?

Wike should do fast and sabotage PDP Atiku during the elections and mobilize support and voters for Tinubu. After Elections, he can decamp to APC. We are waiting for him with wide open arms, and all his sins (corruption) will be wiped away with Buhari's annointing oil grin. PDP will surely regret the day they betrayed Wike. Crazy party of unrepentant thieves and tax collectors undecided
At different times we have had people with different who made different strides in governance, yes he did and as a PDP member.
You all fought and cricized him as APC supporters when he started it, now you all want him to decamp to APC just for APC to win the presidential election.
And you all think he is such a fool?
Re: Why Atiku Dumped Wike Despite PDP Recommendation by warlordd(m): 8:36am On Jun 20, 2022
Picking Okowa was a smart move by Atiku because with that decison he somehow placated the Igbos because Okowa never denied being an Igbo unlike the loquacious Wike who foolishly denied being an Igbo. Now the chicken has finally come home to roost.

I was actually looking forward to the first fool that will bring Yoruba into this conversation. Congratulations. The
award goes to you.

The yorubas were supporting him from Oshogbo or Ogbomoso.
Perhaps, they hired a bus from Ibadan and Abeokuta to give him their support in Port Harcourt.

It is early part of the week. Use your brain for something tangible this week.

One word Ibori

That dude and Atiku go a long way back and putting his stooge is the one way to take the convicted felon to aso rock

Atiku is a weakling that needs a strong backbone. He couldn’t deal with Wike as he’s seen as a threat… but Ibori being a fellow simple thief will not have any ambition past looting the country dry hence..

True Wike is also a thieving criminal but unlike Atiku/Ibori he also has ambition, autonomy and good taste.


On Wike, he has never been an Aso rock material
He would have been a powerful senate president… I recommend him for senate… if he can still make it tho
On the contrary, ibori and okowa are not one, more or less political enemies now.
Okowa is nobody's stooge, he calls the shot in Delta state PDP.
