Excerpts of Wike's interview with Seun Okin on ChannelsTV's #PoliticsToday

Will you be happy if you were an Elected Governor and you are removed by an equally elected President?

Wait, a Governor was removed before. See, let me tell you...let's not personalise this. Wait, I always tell people, like I hear Atiku today pontificating. I have said it before on issues of Customs, I believe he worked in Customs before but on issues of law, you don't know it. You were in the Government when the Plateau Governor was suspended, you were in Government when a State of Emergency was declared in Ekiti State, what did you do? I don't like when people come out to take advantage, but he was there why didn't he come out to say No, Mr President this is wrong but you didn't say so. You were Vice President, party to that Government, you didn't say anything. But that's not the point, people went to Court to challenge it. Like I have said, the only body that can say this is unconstitutional, this is illegal is the Court. Nigerians must leave jobs assigned to people. If you are not an Engineer, you are not an Engineer. You see a house collapses, you become an Engineer, you have not even gone to check why, you say it's because this and that. Who interprets the law, who adjudicates? Allow the Court to determine. The court has made pronouncements on this issue. People have gone to court to challenge the appointment of a sole administrator, what did the court say? The problem here is that we say I don't believe in this then it's not right.

On crisis after the State of Emergency?

I was watching on television today, there are people who are natural crisis builders who think they can only benefit when there is a crisis. For example, if we don't want the State of Emergency to be lifted, we would have done one or two things so that the State of Emergency will continue but No, for the interest of the State. I have been talking with the Governor from time to time and he has assured me look, we can't go back now. This is what I have told Me President and he has spent his time and energy because he wants the state to be stabilised and for me anything that has to bring peace, I am for it.

Have you forgiven Governor Fubara?

I told you we have been speaking. I don't speak to a man I have not forgiven. Seun, I am not a politician that says one thing here and do a different thing tomorrow. If I tell you we are quarrelling, we are quarrelling, if I tell you it's over, it's over. Seun, look I have told my team that we have to move forward but you know there are people who don't like peace. I was watching people today the way they twist the law upside down. You were here when they were saying illegality in conducting Local Government election, what did they do? But you see them pontificating now, you see them shouting but what can they do, nothing.

Is nominating commissioners part of the new agreement?

I cannot go and impose anything on the Governor. Assuming I go to the Governor and say I want this person and he says No, the state will collapse? I am not suggesting anybody to him. I have no candidate and no input. Even if the Governor comes toe now and says we have agreed to work together, who will you suggest to me, I will say No. I give you a free hand in your Government and in the state. All I want to say is I know what I did to keep certain things at a particular level, don't go lower, don't drop it. As I speak to you, I left the State where we can compete favourably with Lagos and that has been my own intention.

On Tambuwal trusting Atiku over him on leadership?

Seun, what do you mean by leadership and friendship? You cannot talk about leadership and you do not talk about the person. I was privileged to have these clips with me and luckily for me, I have never come out on National Television to talk about Aminu Tambuwal but this is an opportunity to talk about him and I will tell you. He said he trusts Atiku in terms of leadership. Seun, why not? These are people that have been consistently inconsistent. You know when you are a consistent betrayer, what do you expect? Now birds of the same feather flock together. There is no way Aminu will not go along with Atiku knowing fully well they are dissidents. When you hear Tambuwal talking, we from the Niger Delta, sometimes when you go to pick snail, you see an empty shell. When you are speaking to Tambuwal, you think you are talking to a human being. Tambuwal cannot talk about leadership, I made him Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum. Atiku cannot stand for truth, I did not say it, Obasanjo in his book "My Watch" said it, that's their principal. What is his leadership trait? Obasanjo also claimed that when he was seeking for a Vice Presidential Candidate, he made a mistake with Atiku though an honest mistake but he is happy that God has forgiven him. His penchant for corruption. Former President Obasanjo gave a testimonial of his subordinate but I have shown leadership.

On the 2022 PDP Presidential Primary

When we were doing Presidential Primaries in 2022, everybody knew. I was everywhere, I was the man to beat in that election. It turned out they were in General Ali Gusau's house. They couldn't stand it, I was everywhere. They told Saraki and Bala Mohammed to withdraw, they said they wouldn't withdraw. Tambuwal refused, in that convention every Candidate was asked to come and speak, the mistake I made was that I allowed my supporters from Kano and Katsina and others to wear our uniform. When I came out to address the Congregation, it was look there is problem. I won Kano 90%, I won Katsina about eighty something percent, that was when David Mark brought his knowledge of military coup and as a former Senate President, because he was the Chairman of the Convention. Every Candidate had spoken, now it was time for us to vote, then we heard there was an announcement, we thought maybe the electoral committee was about to give an instruction. Who did I see? Aminu Tambuwal... He said he wanted to withdraw, I don't have a problem with that but he said vote for my senior brother, Atiku, which was a breach without calling us other aspirants to come and address. They rigged it with David Mark. Tambuwal negotiated to be the DG of the campaign and later to be Senate President because they believed the Federal Government then was supporting them. The problem with these people is that they always assume, the North says this and all that, thinking they will win.

PDP in its present state

There was nothing they didn't do to remove Damagum but I did everything for him. I hired his lawyers including the Senior Advocate, that's what sustained Damagum to be there, but who is Damagum's enemy now? It's me. If there is one man Damagum wants to kill now, it's me but it doesn't matter because that's to tell you the kind of character and the kind of person I am.

Wike always portraying himself as holier than thou. It’s only those that don’t know him will believe the venom he is spitting.

The Naira redesign and petrol scarcity were policies from the Buhari presidency aimed at ensuring Atiku wins the election. While they did their own human effort, they didn’t factor God into their plan and they failed woefully. Kudos to strong southern voice like Nyesom Wike who did everything to ensure that power returned to the south after 8 years of Buhari presidency.

wike has to buy more time so he could show how proud and arrogant he is. just like someone who drinks and talks uncontrollably
If there is anyone from the south who should be president it is definitely not a loud mouthed wike who has got no character or charisma for such position. and come to think of it why did he not support a popular southerner within his party the pdp.

Is this not the same Wike that Obidients were jubilating over the fake news he was flown to the UK for heart failure . See Wike talking from hospital bed abroad flogging his political opponents back to back .
And I hope when Sowore remembers Obi and take him to the cleaners, Obidients won't say he has been paid by Tinubu, because we can see Obidients hailing Sowore now over his insults against Tinubu and Wike as well as his fake news about Wike's health. When the table turns, we no wan dey hear wailing o.

Hehehe! Same man that singlehandedly destroyed PDP and handed it over to the APC. So you are not contesting for president again? All of your are all treacherous and self serving betraying one another from antiquity. So Nyesom Wike STFU.

Wike has a brighter chance of becoming the president far ahead of Peter Obi when you look at his antecedents, his records,performance and leadership prowess

Blasphemy! Nothing concern God with Tinubu's presidency that has made more Nigerians poorer.


It is like thanking God because Bandits have taken over Kwara state.

God made Tinubu president and it’s very obvious. Without God, there is absolutely no way he would have emerged as president in 2023 considering all the hurdles that were thrown at him back then.

My friend stop involving God in the affairs of criminally minded humanity like the kinds you are boldly supporting because God is not your joke mate. People like your demigod that was involved with;

-Drug running then forfeiting a staggering $460,000 claiming he mistaken share flats with drug baron,
-Attending ghost schools( GCI, GCL) before they were established, forging certificates up and down including the CSU diploma certificate tendering then in official purpose, then when caught claiming Tokunbo Afikuyomi did on his behalf.
-Stealing Donald Duke's childhood pictures claiming his own until when bursted, then shamelessly refusing to apologize for identity theft.
-Parading bullion vans of vote bribe monies on the eve of a presidential election then claiming it is nobody's business.
-Associating with indicted person of Gandollar, Akpabio, Matawalle, Yahaya Bello kinds etc.

We have video of Peter Obi swearing with his life that he will never leave APGA, he betrayed the party and joined PDP for appointment. PDP and Atiku made him the running mate of the party’s candidate in 2019, he still betrayed the party by jumping to LP and dividing the party’s base. Now, he has totally destroyed LP and now moved to ADC. Even at that, he’s already planning to dump the party if he can’t pick the presidential ticket. That’s how terrible a betrayer Peter Obi is.

Nope! Till heaven. It is understandable that God was not and will never be involved in the electoral criminality of 2023. The facts were obvious before and after the charade. All the actors therein have a day with posterity. A lie repeatedly told tends to be mistaken for being truth.

You’re not God and can’t speak for God. It is only God that anoints kings. God ordained Tinubu specially to lead Nigeria and that’s why he’s president. No amount of wailing can change the will of God.

Soon,he too would end up like Odili,Amaechi or Ibori.

Everything must end one day.

I expected you to debunk all these solemn facts about your demigod and hero of worship and not this lame epistle of deflection you opted for Seunmsg. Defection didn't start today. Even Tinubu metamorphosized through various political parties too( AD-which he also betrayed Pa Dawodu and others, ACN, APC ).

I understand you’re angry because God rejected the candidacy of Peter Obi and his bigotry. Sorry buddy, God doesn’t reason like folks like you. The ways of God is different from the ways of men. It may be a painful pill for you to swallow but it is what it is. Only the anointed can win and rule. Peter Obi doesn’t have the anointing. Period!

Yeah? Am not God! Amen. However, God have nothing to do despicable men and women throughout the history of humanity. He allow them to do their criminality for reason best known to Him. However there is a day His grace and mercies will be taken away then the Holy Bible say, you will look for that despicable and wicked man, you can find because he has taken care of him/her.

See pot calling kettle black!

You’re the one trying to explain tire and I won’t leave your neck. Rejected stones like Peter Obi and Atiku have no anointing. They will continue to get close without getting there. It is their reality.

@PeterObi is better than @officialABAT both as a governor and a businessman. If Peter Obi had the revenue and FG infrastructure of Lagos, he would have truly turned Anambara more than Tinubu left Lagos........

"Even Peter Obi is ahead of Atiku Abubakar.......ahead of him in terms of capacity to make decisions. Keyamo said Tinubu increased Lagos’s IGR.
True. But much more than that, Tinubu increased Lagos’ debt. Tinubu met a debt of less than $200 million and left a debt of billions of dollars. Lagos alone owes 6% of Nigeria’s external debt and approximately 4% of her domestic debt.

Tinubu’s debt overshot his IGR, which is a net loss for Lagos. Besides, with AlphaBeta, are we sure the IGR got to the coffers of the Lagos Government, or to private hands?

God knows better and that’s why Tinubu was anointed to become king and Peter Obi was rejected. The only despicable human being is the one that God has rejected despite his attempt to cause a religions crisis in the country by tagging the last election a religious war.

Wike is just too full of himself. He sees himself as the emperor of Rivers. Now , the interviewer asked Wike have you forgiven Fubara.
Take a read at his arrogant replies. So, in the fisrt place what was Fubara offence? Because he denies you Access to state funds?

If Fubara likes, he should not be a man. He should continue to allow Wike to be remoting him around like a helpless toddler

Seems you have retrograde amnesia but let me paint it more clear for you.
-Tinubu denied Muslim muslim ticket @ campaign ground only to do a volte face and said it is the best bet.
-Tinubu have to use relatively unknown agbadorian bishops to legitimize his unpopular choice that has been fully exposed for the deceit that it was.
-Tinubu have to use derogatory insult of the Christian faith e.g. the poisoned communion challace and Tinubu is like Jesus Christ inflammatory speeches. Did the Christain community in Nigeria fought or decleared a fatwa on his head? Nope?

Try it with the other faith then let's see the outcome. Now tell us who is a religious bigot?

Everyone will die at their appointed time. When it is Tinubu’s time, he will die. When it is Peter’s time, he will die. However, Tinubu is already the king. Nothing is ever going to change that. Peter Obi had been rejected by God, he will only remain relevant as a blogger on Twitter till he joins his ancestors. He offers us a lot of entertainment will his hate and anger filled tweets against the country. So yes, we shall continue to counter his lies and bigotry with truth and positivity.

Eeyah, see the way you’re now struggling to make sense and you still can’t. This is what happens when you’re trying to pull down God’s anointed. Dude, I’m really sorry for you. You’re sounding like a very bad engine and it’s so pathetic to see. Go to bed and weed off the hatred out of your head. Mr. President wish you a sound sleep. Pele my dear.
