The APC family in Rivers State must not fret because the Asiwaju is talking with Governor Nyesom Wike. It is Wike and his goons that need the Asiwaju, not the other way round.

Governor Wike's present disposition is theatrical and he is an excellent propagandist. His target has been to use the meeting he personal initiates to push for more respect from the PDP.

With a PDP Governorship Candidate to deliver in 2023, Governor Nyesom Wike cannot leave the PDP. He is stucked to the Party. And Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has had his experience in such deals like Governor Nyesom Wike seeks from him.

Let me remind us of how this same deal was entered into between the Governors of the South West in 2002 when the then President Olusegun Obasanjo told the South West Governors to support his Presidency and he would deliver their second term bid.

It never happened. Every South West Governor who believed Chief Obasanjo lost their return bid except the Asiwaju who rejected the offer, severed ties with the Yoruba Sociocultural Group, the Afenifere, went in to win his second term bid, retaining Lagos State.

What Wike has been able to achieve in the Rivers State APC has been to keep members of the Party apprehensive and grievous, wondering why the Asiwaju would engage Governor Wike than he appears to rally Rt Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.

In the actual sense, it is Governor Wike who demands the visits he has been enjoying. In the face of dying pensioners, with an unpaid workforce, Governor Wike covers his governance deficit with road infrastructures in the metropolis and making so much noise about overhead bridges.

As a member of the APC who understands how theatrics and propaganda helps in discouraging members of a Party to feel alienated from the mains, sort of a mind-game that disengaged the interests of members of the Party from their loyalty to the Party and Candidates.

This is therefore to encourage my compatriots in Rivers State to stand firm and to focus on the APC, and with their Governorship Candidate, Pastoe Arc Tonye Cole, whom I was privilege to have a chit-chat with recently, and who has a great vision for the Rivers people.
