Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde has begged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike not to set Oyo State on fire.

Vanguard had reported that Wike, at a function, threatened to cause a political crisis in the states of any governor on the platform of the PDP backing the Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara in the state.

Makinde, during the Ijaw World Congress reception in Port Harcourt, on Saturday, organized for Wike, begged the FCT minister not to ‘Put fire in Oyo state.

Makinde praised the former governor of Rivers over the state’s infrastructure, saying the FCT minister has done well for his people.

According to him, ” I came to Oyo to identify with my brother and the celebrant of today(Nyesome Wike). When I showed up in Rivers yesterday (Friday) I told him that I brought a peace offering because he has been boasting that he would put fire in some states. I told him please, don’t set fire in Oyo State.

“Let me say on behalf of other governor colleagues and past governors here that you have done well for your people and since I came I have seen projects that were done during your eight years tenure as governor.”

But how can a mere federal commissioner, a mere political appointee, put fire in a state when there is a sitting governor in that state with enormous executive powers? 

If Wike was still a sitting governor, would he allow anybody to put fire in his state?

The PDP should, as a matter of urgency, send Wike packing so that he can formerly move into the APC, where his madness is so needed. As we all know, the APC is a party for mad men like him. Tinubu and all those people around him are mad men. 

He is of no use to the PDP; after all, he worked against the party in the last general elections, and he is still working against the party.

To those of you who feel Wike is a talkative…

See a serving Governor begging on behalf of other governors both past and present and future…

Wike is a Demi god …. And Fabura will learn the hard way

Difrent:
How can a PDP member openly campaigned against his party and is serving as a minister with your opposition and PDP cannot do anything about that ?
Answer this and you have the answer to your question.

Man is so sure of himself he has refused to leave PDP and join APC

He is not sure of himself. He is a confused man. Infact a mad man

Mynd44:
What Wike meant is political fire in the PDP in their states. A lot of state chairmen and excos are loyal to Wike and he can cause problems for the governor politically

SendoSendal:
Only if Wike is not as boastful
Only if Wike does not talk as much as he does
Only if Wike is more tactful
Only if Wike is more of action than talk
Only if Wike is more humble and graceful

He would have been one of the biggest political leaders of our times. His political charisma is enduring and truly, a lot of Nigerians openly or secretly admire him, but he talks and brag too much. He lacks the finesse befitting of a statesman. He is also boastful.

Wike mismanaged Fubara. No doubt, Fubara made some early ugly moves, but so did Fashola and Ambode in Lagos but Tinubu managed them. Wike's lack of tact, made him to order the 27 House of Assembly guys to decamp to APC. That was Fubara's saving grace. Fubara saw the error and moved on it. Wike is yet to recover from that error. Imagine now that he is firmly in control of the PDP structure in Rivers, of what use is the decamping of the Assembly guys to APC to him? I guess he was betrayed by some elements in the Villa who must have advised him to make that move, promising him the full backing of the President in impeaching Fubara once APC is in firm majority in the assembly. He forgot that even Tinubu could not remove Fashola or Ambode through impeachments despite also being in firm control of the Lagos House of Assemblies at the time. All of these reek of lack of tack and strategy on the part of Wike. Once you begin to talk and boast too much, you begin to lose your reverence.

Silence is a better show of strength, than boastful talk and vain glory. Someone should pass this piece to Nyesome Wike, if they really love him. And he needs better strategists and handlers. He is currently making a poor show of himself and he may go down for it if he is not careful
