Wike done show una pepper again, una done run from Pdp, he first pursued Obi, to the LP, now he has pursued Obi’s Oga, Abubakar Atiku from the Pdp also.

Word on the street, is that they are in the works to pursue Gringory Obi from the LP into the political wilderness, Wike na your Master.

Are your tears not better addressed to Wike, who tried and failed to buy delegates in the primaries, after getting rid of Obi?

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.

Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT

Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.

Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.

The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.

The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.

The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.

Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.

I respect your honesty, the way Wike made Obi Runaway from the Pdp is an issue to be studied meticulously.

Now he has pursued Obi’s Oga also, what a shame.

Wike chased him away. Wike is the man. He vowed that Atiku will never enjoy PDP as long as he departed from the party policy and it became so.

Tinubu performance cannot guarantee him re election, your confidence is from the believe that he will rig the election otherwise there is no part way for him

Atiku the destroyer of PDP from time beginning of the party. People will also exut the ADC because of Atiku.
Where is the conscience of a nearly 80 year old man who still fights with his grandchildren for political power?

COMRADES, PDP as a result of poor leadership headed by Damagum, the party is gone! Wike has used Damagum and dumped him

What a shame
PDP will come back stronger. Obviously they will not be strong for 2027. They may align with APC. After 2027 Wike and his friends now the owners of PDP will reorganize the party for future elections. They will come out stronger.

Simple deal with APC will be allow PDP to retain their current states and let PDP support APC for presidency. By this agreement PDP will still be the main opposition party post 2027. Wike can get this deal for PDP from the president.

ADC is only a 2027 SPV. Post 2027 ADC will disappear.

I see the near collapse of PDP . PDP will become a shell with zero consequential politicians in it . However PDP is a party with great structures which in the hands of wike can be a big thorn in the flesh of ADC.

You’re trying to reassure me with what exactly, wishful thinking? National politics is all about building alliances. Name one solid ally Wike has in the core North or Southeast. PDP is basically finished, and at this rate, it’ll probably end up merging with APC. Seyi Makinde was making noise about running for presidency. Wike and PBAT hoping to feed a weaker opposition candidate so BAT can cruise to victory failed with the ADC move.

Watch and learn.

#VoteObiTicket2027✅ #VOT
Any ticket that has Obi as VP or Presidential candidate is what we are voting.
Now, now you have just settled for VP slot for Obi? Wonders shall never end. Anyway, it's looking like the end of the road for both Obi and Atiku. Both can't contest again in 2021 because Atiku will be too old and nobody would want him after contesting seven times. In 2031 after the second term of Asiwaju it will be the turn of the North so Obi would be out of the game. For VP slot in 2031 Wike or other SS candidate would be preferable as usual but forget Amechi because he will probably be in jail by then.

Nobody needs to kick anyone out of a party, it’s not even necessary. Wike and his crew were always meant to be more of a nuisance, like a fishbone stuck in your throat. The smart move is to leave someone to manage the drama while you focus on the bigger picture. Now let’s see what Wike and his boss PBAT do next. Will they push for a northern or southern PDP candidate? What northern politician would agree to that kind of political suicide or even stand a chance to take bloc vote from Atiku? And if they go with a southern candidate, that’s just cutting into PBAT’s own support, especially with how unpopular he is right now.

What if another type of Wike emerge in his newly formed ADC, would he abandoned the party just as he did to PDP.

Elder like Atiktu by now ought to have known how to manage the affairs of a party he and others laboured so much to form around 1998. He is just someone that believes so much in his money and influence, the kind of person that rarely listen to advise.
Tinubu should have known how to manage a country he has always wanted to rule since 1999, but unfortunately he couldn't
