Wike is not God and it should be severely punished

Jaymats:
Bro the early you understand Tinubu will only leave Aso Rock by 2031 the better it is for you.

Pls analyse it for me and come up with a sound judgement a party(apc) nearly won all the entire 744 Local Government seat in Nigeria and won nearly the entire concillorship in the country, get more governors, get more senators and won a landslide in just recent bye election yet you are still thinking one party will just come from nowhere and stop the dynamic? Haba it can't happen bro.

Lol. It's either you are domiciled in the Southwest or you are too young to understand voting patterns. I'm sure you didn't even know the name of the candidates that contested in the buy-election if any held in your state and I'm sure you didn't vote because none held in your catchment area. How can you then use that to judge the trajectory of 2027. Nigerians necessarily don't have a problem with parties, they simply know Tinubu as the man that caused them hardship. Tinubu lost Lagos but Lagosians voted Sanwo-olu of the APC in the gubernatorial. This was the case in several APC states with incumbent governors. Do you really think Tinubu will win the Southeast or get same number of votes he got in the North in 2023? There's a reason why he's using the likes of Wike to scuttle other parties and prevent them from fielding candidates in 2027. Forget the buy-election.

Wetin be Wike problem in this world abeg??

He still doesn't have the PDP in his pockets even after chasing everyone away

It is now glaring that he's just using the PDP as a front to aid tinubu's win in 2027

Wike please go take care of your health and leave politics for the healthy. Most of you politicians are sick. Make una go take care of una health

Has this ever been in doubt? Tinubu is conniving with Wike to undemocratically scuttle all opposition. He wanted to use the "Southern Agenda" as an excuse while doing Tinubu's bidding but Atiku left the party leaving him confused. His new assignment now is to ensure neither Goodluck Jonathan nor Seyi Makinde clinch the PDP ticket to challenge Tinubu even though they are both Southerners. They also used Abure to do the same to Obi in the Labour party.

Mumu How You Go Dey Aware

AMINDA:
Enabled by Tinubu. You gloat while opposition parties are being undermined with tacit support by the government using state apparatus.

Opposition parties are undermined by their own incompetence and residual impunity. How do you hold a convention without NEC? Is is Tinubu that told them to hold a convention that wasn’t declared by NEC? Tommorow a court will rule against any decision made. Is it Tinubu that called the convention? Is there no one in the party that knows the procedure for calling a convention?

Like Tinubu has said it is not his job to help them. So long as the opposition continue to blame the ruling party for their woes they will not take the right steps to fix their mess.

Nigerian opposition parties do not need external influence to implode. They are quite adept at doing that for themselves.

When are Supporters of opposition parties going to call their leaders to order over their incompetence? So long as opposition supporters continue to make excuses and divert blame, your leaders won’t do the right thing for you their supporters? They are forming coalitions up and down are they thinking of you? If they were thinking of you they would stay in one place and sacrifice their ambition for unity. But what do you as an opposition supporter do? You parrot their excuses!

I will remind you all that you had 14.7m votes but because of the selfishness and ego of your leaders the man with 8.7m is president. So if you like continue to blame the ruling party and continue to excuse the gross incompetence and impunity of your opposition leaders instead of putting their feet to the fire and holding them to account. If I were an opposition member I would be leading a campaign amongst all opposing supporter groups to demand, in fact I would tell them to their faces enough is enough! Sort out your egos and the mess or count us out as supporters.

I would tell them you have 3 months to select a flag bearer. Primaries is just a formality. We have agreeable amongst all supporter groups that Whoever loses out will not be voted for if he defects to another party.

Instead you are here passing the buck, parroting their excuses and making it easy for them to continue the incompetence!

It seems as if you dont know who you are up against in 2027!

Nonsense People! All of you! Plus leaders plus supporters whoever opposition party you are in!

This is the 1st true politician that has become president of Nigeria and you think you can unseat him with the apparatus of state with infighting ego incompetence and shifting blame? Even if he was destabilizing the opposition so what? Is that an excuse for you to be incompetence and not get your house in order and not get the basics right?

No need talking too much by 2027 you will come here with a shock don't worry ok.

Wike is not God and it should be severely punished

but how about the members that participated in killing PDP in 2015 won't they be punished?

Forumites:
Wike please go take care of your health and leave politics for the healthy. Most of you politicians are sick. Make una go take care of una health

are you immune to sickness or death?

If they share whiskey there you will know

For a man whose allies are contesting local government elections in both APC and PDP in the kangaroo election that is to be conducted by Tinubu imposed illegal Sole Administrator in Rivers state.

Wike should chose a side and stop being PDP member in the morning and APC member at night.

helinues:
Bro, imagine the way they are changing mouth after the initial bragging. They would have been taunting had ADC performed better

Anybody thinking ADC has something to offer in this bye election is a baby in the political atmosphere of Nigeria, like ADC was never in the ballot box until the coalition just like L.P not being anywhere close to the ballot box until the emperor , the popular Peter Obi took over like how C Ronaldo is celebrated when he went to Arab ....

So relax, ADC time is for the higher and upper acheloan not for this local games 😅....

Meanwhile, APC added only one Senator in the bye election but added 13 senators from defection, it should show you what bribe cant do to naija politicians does not exist...

It will equally show you what the masses are saying over what the Politicians are going for just for selfish gains ....

Below is a statement from the chairman of LP in Lagos. Criticizing Obi for co fusing supporters for supporting candidates in LO and ADC. You people are not serious. You people are not different. If anything you are worse! If you don’t want to read the whole thing you can skip to the emboldened part.


“Reflections on the Labour Party's Challenges: A Call for Peter Obi to Pause and Ponder

By Pst Dr Mrs Dayo Ekong, State Chairman, Labour Party, Lagos State

As the State Chairman of the Labour Party in Lagos State, I have watched with growing concern the internal dynamics and external perceptions plaguing our great party. The Labour Party, once a beacon of hope for the masses, is now grappling with issues that threaten its unity and relevance in Nigeria's political landscape. Chief among these is the meddlesome role and evidently waning influence of our former presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi. While I respect his contributions and the passion he ignited in 2023, it is time for a candid conversation. Mr. Obi must recognize the grace that propelled him in the last election cycle—a divine and collective favor from the party and the electorate—and reflect on how his recent actions are eroding that very foundation.

Let us rewind to 2023. Peter Obi enjoyed an extraordinary wave of support, not just from the Labour Party's structures but from a broad coalition of Nigerians yearning for change. Despite the controversies surrounding the election results, where many believe he was robbed of victory, his outing was undeniably successful. He garnered millions of votes, particularly from the youth and disillusioned voters, because the party rallied behind him, and the electorate saw him as a fresh alternative to the status quo.This grace was a combination of factors: the party's platform, grassroots mobilization, and a genuine public desire for integrity in leadership. It was this synergy that allowed him to shine brightly, even in defeat.

However, fast-forward to today, and the narrative has shifted. Peter Obi's influence in the Nigerian polity appears to be waning, as Nigerians grow increasingly tired and wary of what some perceive as inconsistent antics and political maneuvering. His interventions, once seen as principled, now risk being viewed as disruptive and self-serving, alienating allies and diminishing his appeal. This is not mere speculation; it is evident in recent electoral outcomes where his endorsements have failed to deliver victories, signaling a loss of the magnetic pull he once commanded.

Take the 2024 Edo State governorship election as a prime example. Amid internal party tensions, Peter Obi chose to campaign vigorously for Olumide Akpata, pitching his tent against the preferences of the National Working Committee led by Julius Abure, who wanted to adhere to the political leanings of zoning which the Edo electorate tilted towards, but because of his issues with Abure he stood firm behind Akpata.
While Akpata was the official Labour Party candidate, Obi's involvement highlighted factional rifts, with his support seemingly at odds with key party figures.
The result? Akpata lost woefully to the APC's Monday Okpebholo, securing only a fraction of the votes despite Obi's rallies and endorsements in Benin and beyond.This defeat in Edo, a state where Labour had shown promise, underscores how Obi's influence no longer guarantees electoral success.

Similarly, in the 2023 Imo State gubernatorial election, Obi threw his weight behind Senator Athan Achonu, the Labour Party's candidate. Achonu, backed by Obi's visibility and campaign efforts, was positioned as a strong contender against the incumbent, Hope Uzodimma. Yet, the outcome was another resounding loss, with Achonu failing to unseat the APC governor in a landslide defeat. These back-to-back failures in Imo and Edo raise questions about the effectiveness of Obi's political strategy and whether his touch still carries the transformative power it did in 2023.

The most telling blow came recently in the Anambra State by-elections, particularly in Onitsha—Peter Obi's own backyard and supposed stronghold. Here, we witnessed his sudden switch of allegiance, embodying the "Labour today, ADC tomorrow" shenanigans that have confused supporters and diluted party loyalty.


Just before the polls, Obi abandoned the Labour Party candidate and endorsed Justina Azuka of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), even donning an ADC-branded cap during campaigns for the Onitsha North 1 State Constituency seat.The result was dismal: ADC garnered only 1,909 votes, while the Labour Party fared even worse, effectively rendering both parties irrelevant in the contest. Meanwhile, APGA—the party Obi once governed under before defecting to PDP and then Labour—emerged victorious with 7,774 votes, without needing his support. Governor Chukwuma Soludo aptly noted that this outcome signals the "death" of ADC and Labour in Anambra, a stark mockery of Obi's diminished clout in his home turf.

These patterns are not isolated; they point to a broader trend of waning influence. Public sentiment, as reflected in recent discussions, suggests that Nigerians are fatigued by Obi's frequent shifts and perceived acrimony toward the Labour Party structures that once elevated him. A wise politician like Peter Obi, known for his prudence and vision, has suddenly lost so much appeal—even in his backyard. The threads of his political legacy are unraveling slowly but surely, undone by decisions that prioritize personal alliances over party cohesion.

It is in this spirit that I advise Mr. Obi to take a step back and reflect deeply. He should honestly ask himself some tough questions: Does he still enjoy that grace upon his head—the divine favor and public trust that fueled his 2023 surge? Why did the parties he aligned with in Anambra, like ADC, falter so badly, while APGA triumphed without him? Is his ongoing acrimony against the Labour Party's leadership helping or hindering the movement he claims to champion?
An old adage says that " A sheep that feels safe in the hands of the shepherd will eventually be slaughtered by it". Peter Obi has surrounded himself with those who he feels has his best interest at heart, but time will surely tell.

We all openly admonished Wike for his PDP/APC antics but turn a blind eye to Peter obis LP/ADC antics, the electorate is watching all these and slowly making up their minds against 2027.

The Labour Party remains committed to the ideals of equity, justice, and progress for all Nigerians. But for us to thrive, we need leaders who prioritize the collective over individual whims.”

Idiots will call Wike names when the constitution of a party is very clear..some will not bother to read but quick to crucify Wike. It's not like Wike and Tinubu are smart it's just that all opposition combined are dumb and stupid.

How can you have a convention without the NEC approval yet you're planning for election. That convention will only produce people who would be sacked by courts and candidates will loose their tickets as a result. I'm sure common sense will prevail.

is only you he is giving sleepless night

Wike should move to Apc and battle with Umahi for 2031 vice presidency or else he will also lose there the way he has lost Pdp to Makinde.

I thought this man said he's fighting Ayu and Atiku
Both men are no longer in PDP
What or who is he fighting again?

mastermaestro:
Atiku destroyed PDP. There is nothing to destroy anymore. Wike is only ensuring that it gets a befitting funeral.

How did Atiku destroy PDP? You'll receive the same measure of your maligning statement.

Friend, let's face the reality and stop looking for alibi. I believe in the coalition but if truth needs to be told, their major problem is not Tinubu or the presidency but unbridled grandstanding and power tussle

As it's today, virtually all the major bigwigs in the coalition are working at crossroads, undermining each other and forming different blocks instead of subsuming their personal interests into the general interest of the coalition.
