The truth is that Northerners don't like Wike. They insisted that Atiku should not pick him.

It's all common knowledge.
Wike was bigger than Atifku

You did the right thing Atiku.

Wike will rot in hell

Northerners have never liked Wike. That was why he was never chosen.

This is why I laugh whenever Wike fools himself that he can be president of this country.

It will not happen in 10 lifetimes. grin
He can be vice president in 2031 to a Northerner. Tinubu might just pair him with Ribadu. Wike is a political bulldozer. Look at the way he fought Atiku to standstill. Which south easterner in pdp could have fought Atiku. Obi ran before primaries. Igbos are waiting to get presidency on platter of Gold. It doesn't work like that.

Agbadorianism and self-deceit.

We saw the way you deceived Rochas, Amaechi and other Southern leaders in APC.

Even if Atiku picks himself as his own Running Mate, he will still never lead this great nation. Becoming a president of a nation is not a birthright; Atiku's time as a Nigerian politician has expired many years ago. ...
Atiku can simply return to Dubai, his newly discovered country...maybe he can buy himself a Dubaian crown.

What is decent about Okowa that failed as a governor, rigged his LGA for Ned to win and rigged out Omo Agege for useless Sheriff
Oga, tell us only about Edo state. You do not know much about other states.

Show us the areas in Edo state where APC won elections without rigging.

What are the factors that determine failure that you cannot find in the entire leadership in your Edo state?
Give us concrete evidence to back up your claim that Okowa failed in Delta state as the Governor.

Where was and is the hope for APC to defeat PDP in Delta politics? Go and read the election results from 2015, when APC started to field candidates in Delta state and tell us where the hope for APC was. Inspite of Ibori and his combination of APC political leaders in Delta Central, Okowa defeated them all. That APC got two seats, was by the name of the candidates and not the party. Even APC supporters were openly saying that they did not stand a chance.

Of all the Senatorial zones, how did you expect Omo Agege to defeat PDP in Delta north, which was, is and will continue to be PDP’s home? By the way, Peter Nwaoboshi, who contested on the platform of APC was roundly defeated by Ned, not because Ned was popular, but because, just like Delta central is Omo Agege/Ibori’s stronghold, Delta north is Okowa’s stronghold. Omo Agege himself scored 240k votes because of the anti party activities of Ibori against his own PDP in Delta central. Your Omo Agege was lucky that Ibori was angry at Okowa for not accepting his own governorship candidate. Yet they were roundly defeated by Okowa.

What’s making Sheriff useless? Show us proof that he is useless. You go just siddon for Ramat park dey drink alumo come dey tell us of Sheriff.

Who do they like? Wike financed most of the PDP projects including some elections, though he was supported by few governors who stood by him. The party was kept alive mostly by Wike before the election. Tambuwal received =N=500 million from Wike as support for Market reconstruction. That time I complained of markets that were destroyed by fire at Oyo and Lagos but Wike didn't send money. At last, Tambuwal that betrayed Gbajabiamila, betrayed Wike.

You left a Party for years not knowing how the Party survived only to come and pick the Party Ticket, is that Democracy? Even AWOLOWO cannot leave Action Party or UPN and come back after some years to pick the Presidential Ticket except he forms another Party.

Also, I don't blame you and your people, it is Pa Ayo Adebanjo and Okupe that I blamed, otherwise, today nobody would have known OBI exist. I know even before they died that both of them will not witness next election . The old man that handed over Afenifere leadership to Pa Ayo Adebanjo due to old age and health issue is still alive he collected the leadership of Afenifere from him in 2023 that is how gods of the Yoruba work. OBI was nobody in Nigeria politics and a political orphan before Pa Ayo Adebanjo and Okupe carried him on their back, today none of them is witnessing the next election.
So what wrong did Obi do to Pa Adebanjo? Nothing. Obi remains Late Pa Adebanjo's son. And their families still love each other.

We sane Yorubas will make Pa Adebanjo's dream come to light even after he is gone to be with the ancestors. We will vote Obi 10 times over.

Wike is not loved by the North and that will jeopardize Atiku chances of becoming Pressure.

Atiku should call back stronger in 2027 and chose his running mate from the South East
Why not Jonathan?

No serious President would pick Wike as running mate. The man is too power-hungry and unrefined that he could poison his boss and take over.

Best is to keep him at arm's length and watch him eat himself up with bitterness. grin
This your logic is like putting a lit candle on the plastic chair and going to sleep after a hectic day.

To those who are wise...even the devil is a tool in God's hand for good.

No wonder Atiku has ran 6 times for president and failed 7 times grin just imagine picking Okowa as VeePee over somebody who just lost to you by a few votes at your party primary for an election against Jagaban shows how arrogant and over confidence Atiku is to think that his veepee candidate would add nothing to his chances of winning so he's looking for a weakling who he can control and manipulate.

Wike is a man of integrity and integrity is what matters most about a person and we are hard to find because hypocrite can't stand us grin we slay them.

So how did you expect Asue to win APC in Edo north that oshiomhole controls, a divided pdp for that matter? Even Peter obi with his popularity failed here woefully. Asue stood no chance sir.just as Okowa is godfather there and strong is how oshiomhole controls APC and dominates Edo.

Oga retire, you have tried enough for every 4 years running as a presidential candidate. Leave the stage for the young ones to contest.
You too should publish your own book so that we can know how much you love Nigeria or how much you are corrupt 😎

You are an imposter. You are an IBO. You have never supported or fought the cause of the YORUBAS . From history, starting from Nnamdi AZIKIWE till date, You are lifted by YORUBAS. Any YORUBA that doesn't support your cause is tribalistic and a betrayal, yet, you have never supported any YORUBA cause.

All the YORUBAS that have supported your cause always end up regretting their actions and judged by the Yoruba gods. It is not by coincident that it is not Pa Ayo Adebanjo that will handover the mantle of AFENIFERE leadership to the next generation of YORUBAS but Baba Reuben Fasoranti who earlier handed over to him due to old age and Ill health after withdrawing the mantle from him. This is spiritual. It is not by coincident that both Pa Adebanjo and Okupe died at the same period never to witness next election, it is spiritual. YORUBA elders remain silent but know what is happening.

Wike would have been more useful, and Atiku had no good political advisers who knows politics of use and dump. If Wike was his vice, Rivers state would have been plus for him. May be he would have won, it would have been very easy for him to impeach him and make him redundant after winning the election and make him completely political irrelevant after his first tenure.

You're supporting Wike because you don't know him.
PresidObi:
The people that told you to pick a paperweight Okowa must be working for jagaban.

Peter Obi won everywhere in Delta state that Okowa was still a sitting governor.
Re: Why I Didn’t Pick Wike As Running Mate – Atiku Opens Up by ValarDoharis: 5:47pm On Mar 26, 2025
Shouldn't you be happy that he did not pick Wike? That would have affected your Tinubu, don't you think?
Salewa97:
Atiku the flip flopper.

This same guy was lamenting about Wike not being his running mate few months ago. Now he is giving us this flimsy excuse.

God will punish Atiku and his 3rd force allies.

Normally, omo Agege is more popular than sheriff. No one likes sheriff. Agege aligned with obidients. There was no way there would have voted PDP. Pdp rigged delta north and south like they usually do since 1999
