He imposed unpopular candidates like ogbinedion,osunbor.he did nothing tangible for Edo people.his contemporaries like olusola saraki,shehu yaradua,maitama sule,aminu Kano were loved by their people

He never imposed igbenedion or Osunbor
Even Abacha is loved, what deos that tell you? People are different. I bet Aneni would have been loved in maidugiri if he had come from the north

Aneni was a grassroot politician

That's a lie.if he was oshiomhole would not have retired him.anenih believed in rigging.he never contested elections because he was weak at the grassroot

Somebody sat down and complied APC members or better still those in Tinubu's camp😂

Who is Lyon who is Magnus abe

A list without Jonathan, ameachi, Ibori and Okowa is not complete, the only 3 people I will accept from your list are Wike, Oshomole and Akpabio, but in all none can be compared to late Anthony Anehih and Peter Odili when he was active in politics

Rigging at the time was everyone's tool, including the labour party. At some point Oshiomole referred to Anthony as his leader

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.
you talk anyhow my humble self have a very strong national platform when Wike is my Principal and let me open your eyes Wike is a minister without struggle with a powerful portfolio do take it to the bank and Tinubu remain our President like or hate it

Now I must school you.
The fight was never between Osho and Aneni, rather it was btw Aneni and Obasanjo. When Oshiomole was given victory at the tribunal even Aneni celebrated, it was the first of it's kind in Nigeria, an opposition never wins at the tribunal

Aneni celebrated because he allowed it, he had entered into an agreement with Osho to decamp to the PDP in order to secure a second term. At the first few months of his inauguration as governor Osho showed so much respect and honour for Aneni, but this wasn't to be for too long.

Osho knew that if he would get a second term, he needed more than just the labour jamboree. He needed a regional party with a grounded foundation. It was at this point he betrayed the Aneni faction PDP to form an alliance with the western party headed by Tinubu. After the western union, he turned back to weaken what was left of the already decided PDP. He went from attacking all PDP top politicians including Aneni himself. He even confiscated their lands and properties

My friend the Osho you speak of today is also a snake, he is loved amongst his people, same way Aneni is respected in Edo central. Godwin Obaseki is the ggovernor of Edo state, voted for by the people of Edo state

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.

In a free and fair election, GEJ will defeat Wike hands down and the margin will be very wide.

he is far more than what the op described him as.
There is no single governor that can do what he did in the last general elections in rivers.
It takes guts, political sagacity, ruggedity, connections and a very deep pocket to do what wike did in rivers during the last elections.
In terms of Influence, maybe very soon in the future his dynasty will crash like a pack of cards mostly if he is sidelined by the tinubu govt but for now....... Baba just comot hand for that manchi matter.

Stop being du mb abeg, the guy you are arguing with said in a free and fair election.


If you really have sense, you have seen the comma in the last general election in Rivers.

PDP cleared all the state level and national assembly elections but lost by a big margin in the presidential election.

Why are you just du mb?

Aside his rigging, there are politiams that will wipe him silly in a free election.

Is it not the same Wike that Patience was at his mercy years ago?

Can Akpabio deliver his state?
Can Oshiomole deliver his state?
You dey even mention Omoagege, David Lyon... lol, people that couldn't make any meaningful impact in their own elections.


In few years time Wike will lose relevance because he's already losing it.

I'm 75% sure that he will late have issues with the present governor of Rivers because of his nature and that will be the beginning of his irrelevancy.
