This is simply a fallacy as Wike is NOT a member of the Council of State! People should be advised to make a few research on their own.

OfficialP:
.the same SR mentioned it first that pbat will appoint the new inec chair

Speak for yourself. There's no Tinubu major appointments that we didn't know days before official announcements.

IgOga:
lol. Do you know what it means to be GCFR and current President of Nigeria.

EFCC alone is enough to return Wike to his beginning. Somebody said "after God na government"

Take this scenario as example:

1. EFCC, DSS arrest Wike on corruption charges (FCT minister has no immunity)

2. Tinubu sacks Wike as FCT chairman appoints XYZ

3. Fubara decamps to APC

4. EFCC assisting FBI in investigating Wike's money laundering

5. Wike absent at PDP's convention


Wike's power is subject to having political goodwill and support of the presidency. PDP does not like him, ADC does not like him, Rivers State governor does not like him. If he looses favour with the president he is toast.

Wike is the bride, Atiku would want Wike by his side

Is Wike a member of state council?

I'm not Wike's man, but this story line get as e be!
Especially where it mentioned that Wike influenced some former Heads of State and Presidents to boycott the meeting.
Which former President has a good relationship with Wike to that extent.

Putindbutt:
Table did turn anything, na you dey dull yourself, dey allow Sowore dey build shop ontop una head. Does this Govt looks like they are scared to deal with anybody ?. He has been slammed with court case, later this month, Sowore will appear in court to answer his case.

That's your problem not mine.

See these APC Agboros fighting in defence of Wike.
Emergency Wike Lovers, the 3 houses Wike bought in Floridds was it also a fake news?, no
So what made you poeple think this is fake
News.
Did Mr Wike say it was Fake news from Sowore?

Okoroawusa:
Sowore's Saharareporters?

Nonsense and ingredients

He made front page.

Kikikiki 😬

Okoro bobo!

Oya knack me one asusu Igbo as you are wont to do to prove your point.

Kikikiki 😬😬

Putindbutt:
This fake news blog, the way he confidently sits in the corner of his room fabricating stuffs in his head to sell to the gullible is out of this world.

Sahara reporters have long range of journalists and political insiders who give them information, they know more than you so forget that talk

Before nko, if you cheat your own brother to support a stranger, that stranger too will never trust you. I am not surprised at this rift; I knew it was going to come soon. Wike has no self-control. Like I said in one of my previous comments, he was damaging BAT's admin rather than helping it. And it's a good thing BAT saw it early. Imagine if Wike was allowed to take control of the INEC through his proposed candidate. Chai! People get mind O.

richmond500:
I don't recall calling it federal council of state.

So I have no correction to take

You took responsibility for the person that said it by responding on his behalf.

Atiku will not touch Wike with a pole. Nobody wants a criminal by his side. It's like saying Yahaya Bello is your best ally and you are telling Nigerians that you are different to APC. Nobody will believe that joke. The reason Yahya Bellow is a no go area is how EFCCC exposed him for stealing Kogi State money. People know most politicians are thieves but no details of their theft hence they walk around freely. Once EFCC expose the scale of the theft. It is over. Rochas Okorocha was one of the high flyers in APC until DSS entered his house and painted him a criminal to Nigerians. You don't recover from such stigmas easily

Tinubu cleaning up for 2027 elections, Wike may likely be silenced before then and I think from Rivers president Tinubu may likely work directly with Sim Fubara now Wike time is about to elapse 🤭😂

Koralords:
Nonsense news, a minister is not even part of the council of state, i can't. Believe some people still dey take Sahara reporters serious

Yes, you’re right. But Wike, being the kind of person he is, would still want to attend the meeting he treats Abuja as if it were just another state. If any of these plans go ahead and he shows up, it would leave him deeply embarrassed

Gandollar:
How you take know, you be Tecno?
Are you a journalist? Are you a government official or appointee?

When Sahara desert was dishing it left right and center during Jonathan's era, they were your go-to source for authentic news.

YOLO!

How table turns! 😆

You need to educate yourself first by asking fundamental question. Is fct member of State council? If you are able to answer that,I think that will cure your ignorance..

May be kolokolo wan work here

BlackPantherxXx:
Even said " Wike reached out to former heads of state to also boycott the meeting '

When Wike is not from SE ? He's smarter than that.

Unpopular opinion - don't be surprised if Sahara Reporters is working for Tinubu to intentionally feed his foes "information" like this

Of what value is INEC chairman to Wike ? He's smart enough to know BAT who's the King wouldn't leave that choice to someone below him. If BAT was doing that since... Wouldn't be this successful in politics

I don't expect you to say this. Wike has presidential ambition in the future so he is trying to build an empire that will aid him

lols, You think politicians think about you? Do you know how Tinubu team courted Wike pre 2023 elections, he knew his worth's, Wike was the Spoiler for Atiku or Obi, They all wanted him

It seems the predicted clash is even now coming earlier than predicted.

Same Sahara reporters that was the first to announce departure of Mahmud yakubu? Also the first to announce the appointment of amupitan as new inec boss. Dey play

seunmsg:
You took responsibility for the person that said it by responding on his behalf.

the person made a mistake and it was something to overlook.
What I responded was the fact fact that I felt u don't know the duty of the body so I had to tell u.
Then when u asked if it was in the constitution, I also responded.

If u were pointing out a simple mistake you could overlook, then I wasn't even interested in the mistake he made

Every reasonable Nigerian knows that Wike will surely have issues with Tinubu sooner or later before the election. It takes a veteran politician like Tinubu to manage someone like Wike but he should know his boundaries. He should know that Tinubu would rather divorce Remi than to let her dictate the choice of INEC Chairman to him. I seriously believe that Sowore got the information right. There's fire on the mountain because Wike will be a very potent tool in the hand of the opposition and will really affect Tinubu's re-election chances. Sowore could be the one to fall these two political dynasties if care is not taken. Both Wike and Tinubu won't go down without destroying one another although the president has an upper hand because Tinubu is not Buhari or Jonathan.

No need for all these arguments. There is definitely a silent rift between the Presidency and FCT minister. Past attendance of the the council of state meetings shows that Wike normally attends it or sometimes sends a delegate. In every Rumor, there’s an iota of truth.

Please, can you give us the truth version of the news.
Thank you bro.

Putindbutt:
There's no element of truth in fake news. Fake news blog that said Wike was on emergency to UK hospital for heart failure . 99% of his news are conjectures

Do you have the statistics? You're quoting statistics of what you don't have. I've been following Sahara and other media outlets in news and rumours reportage for close to 15 years and I can tell you that you don't know what you're saying. Sahara is not a blog, let me correct that. Sowore is one entity and Sahara is another body.

One thing about a tamed mad dog, one day it will bite its tamer. It's just a matter of time. Tinubu should be ready for Wike the serial betrayer.

Artiiclebeast:
Hehehehehehe muchecheeee

This roforofo go too sweet...

Wike is not a member of the council of state
Don't allow Sahara Reporter use your head.

Education is not a scam

His role is done already..he shd just enjoy this last mission and retire..Fubara will achieve what Tinubu needs wike for in rivers.

So technically, BAT doesn't need Wike as much anymore...only that he shd not work against fubara there.

AMINDA:
All the Agbadorians who defended Wike claiming the news about the Florida properties was fake are now here denying this as well. But watch how fast they will switch up on Wike and make him public enemy number one once the rift between him and Tinubu is confirmed. Any keen observer can sense that the back-to-back project commencement "commissioning" complete with canopies and media spotlight is just Wike trying to make up for something that has been taken away from him, his monthly media chat.

Let me save this comment. I am sure it will come to pass very soon

I can't wait to see how the Agbadorians will launch their smear campaign against one of their favorite persons. It's even going to be funnier than El-Rufai's case.

Af0nja2:
Is Wike (as Minister of the FTC) a member of the Council of State? No

Only AG and Minister of Justice is the only minister that is a member of the council. Wike, though administers FCT, is not a governor of a state, so is not a member.

Members of CoS are as follows:

As a former Governor, He is entitled to attend. True to what Sahara reporters, the minister of state, FCT was at the meeting speculating that Sahara might be right by half
