100% Correct 💯💯💯💯💯 I have said it before. Had it been that Wike is not holding any federal position in Tinubu administration . No body for remember am not to talk of detecting for a governor.

All his actions are backed by Tinubu. Take it or leave.

Many of us were in Rivers at the time.
You were in Rivers but physically in just one community. You followed the election in other parts of Rivers the same way as someone in Abuja, Lagos, London or New York.

Go to IREV and see the results.

Wike rewrote those results shamefully.
That was the beginning of his end...for toying with the choices of Rivers people.

As a top ranking official in Oshiomhole’s Association of Past Crooks, APC government, this is not likely to happen for as long as he remains loyal to the capo Di tutti capo of the looters he helped install in office by getting rid of Obi to divide APC votes.

2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

This is not true.

Wike is powerful because when Atiku left PDP in 2014 to work against PDP in the 2015 election, Wike stayed behind. Wike funded the party after Goodluck Jonathan lost the elections.

Gradually, Wike funded many people's elections. How he got the funds can be investigated.

Atiku returned in 2017. He hustled for the ticket. He won it. He picked Peter Obi as running mate without due consultations with the PDP southeast causus. Wike worked for the Atiku-Obi 2019 ticket. He even visited Tinubu at night to ask Tinubu to back Atiku, considering that pre-2019, Tinubu was considerably sidelined. When Tinubu asked WIke who'd replace Buhari, Wike mentioned Atiku, Saraki, and Company. Tinubu said if those were the alternatives, he'd stick out his neck with Buhari till the end despite being sidelined by Buhari's men.

Tinubu earned Wike's respect with that display of loyalty, and they started a friendship according to Wike.

In 2019 after Atiku lost the election, Wike, who was one of the funders of Atiku's run was immediately sidelined. Recall that Wike had originally pitched his tent with Tambuwal, but was convinced by Jonathan to support Atiku.

In 2022, Tambuwal was to step down for Atiku in an election Wike was contesting. Wike felt undermined and made some demands to Atiku, following his defeat. Atiku refused to honour terms. There were rumours that had Atiku won that election, he would have jailed Wike. So the 2023 election was also about Wike's political survival. He therefore teamed up with a strong candidate to guarantee his own survival.

Dele Momodu has not forgiven Wike for threading the path that guaranteed his own political survival.

Wike became a behemoth, not because of Tinubu, but because of the likes of Atiku who could not wait to build the PDP because of their personal ambitions. Wike has funded many politicians and they have showed they'd not bite the fingers that helped them. Bala Mohammed spoke against Wike, but stopped when Yakubu Dogara revealed that Wike funded Bala's election.

Dele Momodu also received PR contracts from Wike as governor. Today, Dele has turned against Wike, because Wike's choice for his (Wike's) political survival ruined Dele's ambition of political visibility under an Atiku government.

Dele Momodu has not won any election and has no business projecting as an expert on Tinubu and Wike. He has demonstrated he is poor in political PR.

Na jus say Fubara Na weakling if not Wike would be sneaking into Rivers State at night under any other thoroughbred politician as Rivers governor.

Na una wey dey Lagos and Abuja Wike go dey deceive say im still dey control anybody.

Remove the judiciary from his pocket and the support of that aso rock calamity and see if Wike is worth anything.

Atiku would have jailed Wike for what exactly?

For working for Tinubu or for stealing Rivers money?

Which one?

There are many adults who would tell you that Wike never worked against his party and there are many adults who would tell you Wike never stole a dime from Rivers.

Maybe I am wrong but your write up suggests you are one of or both of the above..

So there was need for clarity.

Where or what is the shift?

I was on ground... My guys in different parts of the state reported the same thing...

Rivers voted massively for Obi! It was so massive that Obi even delivered numerous LP candidates into both the state and federal houses of assembly but as usual your Wike did his magic by sponsoring violence backed rigging!!!

They voted for Fubara massively for governor but the presidency was Peter Obi... His name was everywhere... The sentiments were clearly for PO.

My ward was taken by PO... It's UNARGUABLE!! Obi won Rivers which is why I laugh when Wike makes this his nonsense noise.

That's never a minus to Dele Momodu but a minus to the country Nigeria!

How do you ridicule a man for not winning a vote when almost all, if not all of the delegates collected bribes in hard currency to vote?

So you prefer an Atiku or a Wike who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Dele who didn't bribe anyone?

Are we serious in this country at all?

I am not sure you understood my write up sufficiently to advance a review.

A politician would likely cage the person who was, and has the potential to be a challenge to his reign. It is a fundamental Machiavellian rule for political survival. Jonathan had Henry Okah locked up. Buhari had Dasuki locked up. Are you aware of Dasuki's role in postponing elections? Tinubu has Emefiele on trial. We all know what Emefiele did to undermine APC and TInubu's chances.

As for the reason Wike would be locked up, I ask you to reflect carefully and ask yourself who was the greatest opposition to Atiku? You think Atiku will leave that person?

That's to tell you, he's not a popular candidate.
In 2014 , Atiku spent more than he spent in 2019 to get APC ticket. But Buhari without spending kobo outsmarted him.
Simply put Dele Momodu does not have any electoral values

Lol

If Atiku had won in 2023, Wike would be in Obio Akpor as a nobody as we speak,,
Even Fubara would have decimated him.

He would never be a threat to even Atiku's pinky finger.

Atiku would chase him out of PDP, Fubara would chase him out of government.

Atiku might jail him just to punish him, but never because he's a threat.

The same exact thing Tinubu and Uba Sani have done to El Rufai is what Atiku and Fubara would have done to Wike, or even worse because what Wike did to Rivers is something else.


I repeat IF ONLY ATIKU WAS PRESIDENT.

If Wike has the guts, he should join the APC. He can’t because for him, it’s better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven. He’s a don in the PDP.
