It's now almost a week since the news broke regarding revelation of Wike's Florida mansions and other luxurious properties. One would've expected Tinubu being his boss who is the president of the country, who on several occasions told the international community that "there is no more corruption in Nigeria" should've demonstrated his no tolerance for corruption within his government by asking Wike to submit himself for investigation over the allegations. Tinubu's silence over Wike's case is an indictment on his government's complicity and a direct indictment on him as an accomplice to Wike's "crimes". If the president continues to be silent and choose to do nothing to address this embarrassing situation then it is clear for all to see that Tinubu does not only condone corruption but encourages it.

Many Nigerians defending Wike are also partly to blame for the nonchalant attitude exhibited by this government towards fighting corruption. Why are Nigerians not publicly demonstrating and demanding for Wike to be suspended and investigated? Why are Nigerians not publicly demanding for an end to looting and corruption going on unchecked under Tinubu? No nation can progress if it's leaders are not held accountable.

I don't believe I could ever read a report like this!
How can anyone say this? Most Nigerians know fully who BAT is. C'mmon, BAT is your stereotype Nigerian politician. I think Wike has been more powerful as Minister than as a Governor now that he is nationally influential and has a longer reach and area of influence than in Rivers. Wike is the only Minister who has confessed to having a Rolls Royce, and did not dispute the allegation of buying $6 million house in the US. All this at the pleasure of BAT.

BAT appointed the former chair of his party, known for collecting $500k as bribes.

We know better, but we act less

TUluMbU who's even more corrupt than wike is the one you're expecting to investigate wike?
Funny post, Like how?.

You guys are too dull.

So you have never heared of Mortgage and capital gain?

Do you know the exact time(year) that Wike bought the said properties?

What of the original purchase price?

What was his equity contribution to the property, 100%,50%,35% or 5% as is the standard for most people in America.

Now properties have really appreciated in recent times some even up to 100% in some cases.

So if it is true that some of those properties were bought as far back as 2010, then it is not presumptuous to assume that they were bought cheaper than the present day value at a time when the Naira/Dollar exchange was more favourable and give or take Wike can easily afford the properties especially if he secures a mortgage as most normal people do.

Sowore knows all this, he knows you guys don't know it and he is using it press your mumu buttons.

By the way 4 houses that cost 4million usd is basic , not luxurious.

Has anybody asked Sowore the value of his own house in the US?

Because if you come out to talk, the ONES THAT ENCOURAGE CORRUPTION will label you ip,ob or Igbo

They turned Igbos into the beacon of truth and honesty with conscience in Nigeria 🤗

Wike is a petty thief compared to Tinubu.

It be like prison beans dey hungry some of you people

Bayo Onanuga will write to the USA Attorney General and plead that Mr Tinubu is a very good friend and partner of Wike.
Wike, maybe the USA should confiscate the three mansions, but Wike should not go to Jail

Hmm, are you for real? So Wike should be free while abuja-based lawyer Victor Giwa should be jailed?

Yankee will just ignore this hungry Africans, truthera make una dey deceive una self.

Only the Federal government of Nigeria can write to the United States government to make a case about Wike, not u hungry people in Africa.

Did you not read the details that Wike allegedly broke several US laws in the process of acquiring the properties. You are wrong as US government can unilaterally prosecute the case without involving Nigerian government if it is established that Wike is guilty. Tinubu may choose to look away while those in his government are stealing but it won't save Wike from the US justice system.

Black paint cannot stain a black paint.


Know this and know peace.


Bola Tinubu is the father of corruption in Nigeria, expecting him to probe Wike that he appointed Minister simply because Wike helped him rig Rivers state which helped in making him the President he is today, is like expecting a one month old baby to walk

Which laws did he break?
