Lol, he has so many lawyers, oke wali is also his lawyer. When sanwo olu visited wike at his residence, he introduced him as his lawyer. Read up in frank owhor on Wikipedia, he was former mayor in the 80's or 90's

Sorry,I was supposed to edit,I just read it.he was deputy mayor in 1988, attorney gen from 1996-999..but wike could have nominated younger persons na like tony okocha,go round etc.it simply means wike will be minister or nominate a minister

English isn't our mother tongue so you can forgive the OP. He/She and their cahoot think notorious and popular mean the same thing.

notorious : well-known for some bad or unfavourable quality, deed, etc; infamous. rare generally known or widely acknowledged.

popular: : liked or admired by many people or by a particular person or group

Wike is notorious and popular in one breath

Frank owhor is wike's trusted foot soldier, he had to be compensated. He has also served as a federal commissioner at fiscal commission, a board member of oil and gas free trade zone, tony okocha and the others don't have his pedigree. Regarding the ministerial aspiration, I honestly don't think he'll be minister.

Lol, Bayelsa people love wike more than his Rivers people, sylva has been everywhere with wike because of his elections, Diri had to beg ibori to settle their fight, Everyday people in Bayelsa pray and wish they had a governor like wike, I'm hosting a friend from Bayelsa this weekend, a senior civil servant in one of the institutions in Bayelsa and he loves wike. You're an igbo man, you think everyone hates wike like your people? Even amongst your Igbo people, he still has supporters especially in Abia State, when PDP lost in Abia, some PDP members called out ikpeazu for not having guts like wike. Wike also gave 500 traders in Ariaria 300m before the elections. Not everyone is hate filled like you people on the internet, if you meet wike today, you'll bow in deference despite your hatred for him
Lol!

What I see here is that you are just an APC apologist who will never see anything wrong in what Wike did even if we talk from today to tomorrow.

Imagine you saying that Wike has supporters in Abia, lol.

The only people that admire Wike in Bayelsa or anywhere at all, are criminals like Wike.

Like I said earlier, even Hitler had supporters.

Yes wike has supporters in Abia, I know it's hard for you to accept as an igbo man but it is what it is. Did Abia PDP members not berate ikpeazu for being lazy and not having the guts to deliver his candidate like wike did? Is that a lie? Should I send links from reputable sources? Did wike give ariaria traders 300m when it got burnt or not? Do you think everyone is hate filled like you internet people? I'm not an APC supporter and I never voted in the presidential election.

That Abia PDP wished Ikpeazu was brutal like Wike so he could deliver Abia PDP candidate does not mean Wike is popular in Abia.

It’s like an APC supporter in Enugu wishing they had somebody like MC Oluomo who would mobilize touts and help them win election. Does that translate to MC Oluomo being popular in Enugu?

And about donations, do you remember how much Wike once donated in Sokoto? Does that make Wike popular in Sokoto?

Did Ude tell you that Wike has also lost powers to nominate people?

What he reported is that Wike’s name is not on the ministerial list and that’s what we are waiting to confirm.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Any other thing you say is a product of your own assumption.

You think those traders he donated money to will hate him like miscreants online because of obi? What did obi do for them when their market got burnt? According to cubana chief priest 'wetin obi don do for me'? Amongst your Igbo people, he still has a lot of admirers, know this and know peace. Opinions of nonentities about him won't stop him from waxing stronger.

Is Wike popular in Sokoto since he once donated money to them as well?

He has allies in sokoto, wammako and the sultan of sokoto visited him in his private residence so what are you on about. You people keep insulting him, the same way you insulted Tinubu, I won't be surprised if he becomes president or vice president tomorrow, all your threats and empty chests beating ends online. Real life is different from fantasy.

Nobody has seen the ministerial list, obidients are stupid and hopeless, they latch on to anything that gives them temporary succour, Jackson ude is a notorious fake news peddler, whether wike makes the ministerial list or not as long as BAT is president, wike will be treated fairly. Apart from Abe, other statutory slots for rivers state at the federal level will be filled with wike's loyalist. Even if wike wasn't going to be on the list before, I'm very sure the campaign of calumny and hate from nonentities will spur Tinubu to make him minister.

Emmanuel Udom is far more popular and influential in Akwa Ibom compared to Godwin Akpabio.

Furthermore Ex-Governor Ifeanyi Okowa gave Ibori the very first defeat of his political career.The APC candidate despite all the noise could not even make any headway in the Governorship elections.

Wike: his popularity cuts across the 6 SS states.he dominates SS politics,is loved and adored by the SS people.he controls pdp faction in cross river,sponsored ypp candidate senator oba who was in pdp,sponsored a faction of the pdp in Edo led by Dan orbih.his influence also extends to anambra apc and some northern states.

Oshiomhole: as an opposition candidate, he defeated pdp in edo.he was the second person to sack a pdp governor in the south and third overall.he is fanatically loved in the Edo north zone of Edo and large parts of edo.him and akpabio are the only ones able to deliver their districts to tinubu.oshiomhole also delivered his district to apc in 2015 and 2019.he crushed the obidient movement or tsunami in the north of Edo and humiliated shuaibu in his polling unit.

Akpabio: he delivered his zone to tinubu and overran obi in akwa ibom.he also helped to get 25% for buhari in 2029.he is madly loved in his ikot ekpene district and by virtue of being SP,he is the leader of apc in SS.

Governor Prince Otu: if not for the calabar metropolis,he would have won the southern zone for tinubu and perhaps the entire state.he is very popular.

David Lyon: he is popular in bayelsa but has failed to exert his influence since his ouster Hy the apex court.in the last two election,apc lost scandalously so his popularity is suspect.

Omo Agege: if he had returned to the senate,he would be SP.he failed to deliver for tinubu and struggled to win his zone during the guber but delivered two senate and a reps seat.

Magnus Abe: he is very popular among his ogoni people.



Omo Age is popular but not influential.... The last election proved that especially on a national scale

One thing I found out about you is that you like to lie to yourself a lot.

This was how you were assigning funny figures to Atiku and Tinubu in the Southeast and Southsouth before the elections; I told you it won’t happen but you argued you a are a professor of ‘real politick’.

What later happened? Tinubu and Atiku both struggled to get up to 5% of votes cast in the entire southeast. Southsouth wasn’t any different either but for INEC’s rigging.

Now you are back with another round of self deception.

I can take what you said about other people because they appear realistic but how did you arrive at your conclusion about Wike?

Let me tell you the reality on ground, like I told you before the elections, Wike is the most hated politician in Rivers State in particular, and the entire Southsouth in general, as of today. If he contests in a free and fair House of Assembly election today, he would fail even if his opponent is a stone.

What you are mistaking for popularity is just his network of criminal structure within the PDP across some Southsouth states. But for the fact that these guys are associating with him alone, they have lost popularity just like Wike.

Things were even better for Wike before the election. But after doing what he did during the election, he buried himself by himself. That’s why he’s struggling to get a post in Tinubu’s govt so he can stay relevant.

As you didn’t before the election, I don’t expect you to believe what I’ve said here, not like I care, I just wanted to state the facts as they are; like I always do.
