Lol. It's not so difficult to spot a sponsored writeup when you see it.

To Monye and others like him who hold this view, Wike isn't going anywhere anytime soon especially not b4 the next general elections.

The people who desperately want Wike to be dropped from the FEC or for his relationship with PBAT to go sour aren't doing so because of their love for Nigeria or the President; they know a rift or public spat between both public figures only advances the interests of their own paymasters and nothing else and to their disappointment, both men will work together for as long as necessary.

Ipobidients and their agents we sight you. Wike that is influencing PDP governors to abandon PDP for APC is the person you people believe his influence is declining? No wonder you people never win anything. So daft in reasoning.

Wike relevance will reduce drastically.
The same thing you people have been saying since 2023. Instead of Wike going down, you people are the one going down. PDP is finished, Labour party is finished, Peter obi is finished.

The same people who says Wike is powerless are now publicly admitting his influence.
Let me tell you here
Take everything away from Wike
You can never ever have his home credibility.
He still got massive influence politically in his own state.

Politicians wey no get mouth for home
But they shout outside
That one fake fake politician.
Jagaban himself was one a one Man standing

Take a look at the so call oppositions aside Atiku, who among them got his home based on lock down ( Governors ).

Wike na Man e be with PDP and without PDP.

.. wike is even supporting Tinubu for 2027.
Wike even said in a media interview he will lead and support Tinubu reelection in 2027..that is why wike is destabilizing, causing problems and issues in PDP so that Tinubu and APC will have an easy win in 2027...APC is using wike to destabilize PDP and make the PDP party a weak opposition party

It's a lie.

It's like a game of football. A star player doesn't have to score goals but he should just do what the coach instructed him to do depending on the game plan of the coach.

Wike is only doing what his employer commissioned him to do. Tinubu and Wike are best of friends and Tinubu would not dump Wike as most of you expect.

See them?

If wishes were horses, beggars would surely take a ride

The role and influence of Wike cannot and will not be diminished by the influx of defections of members of the opposition PDP into the APC.

There's an adage which says: na wetin axe do for person naim make dem put am for shoulder".

Wike is the proverbial axe to Tinubu and the ruling APC.

Wike was the first notable politician to pick up the gauntlet by working with the APC when others were too frightened to take that kind of political risk.

He singlehandedly chased out Atiku from the PDP into the rudderless Atiku Disgruntled Coalition (ADC).

He made others to toe the line by jumping ship into the APC.

Today, the party (PDP) which once prided itself as the largest party in Africa is now a ghost of its former self.

Wike still remains a member of the PDP as just a nominal member but his body and soul belong to the APC.

He wants to make sure that the PDP remains just a name without any iota of political force or cohesion.

Once his job is finally completed, the red carpet would be rolled out for him to formally join the APC as the real Emperor, the annihilator of the PDP, Conqueror of Atiku and the indisputable Wicked One himself.

No amount of permutations and speculations would reduce Wike's influence nor his roll come 2027.

Twale for the man wey sabi!

Apc are just getting been fooled by all these decamping politicians…most of them are in Apc to destroy the party and it will be obvious. soon when it’s getting closer to 2027….Apc is bring more enemies than friends thinking they are bringing structures 😂😂😂

Bro, tell them! Who do they think is behind the mass defections.. omo open ur eye, wike hand is there. Who made Philip aduda decamp? Who made amac chairman decamp? They just sit and laugh over some people's weak & myopic political analysis.

Why is the opposition more focused on Wike than an ineffective opposition leader like Atiku and Peter Obi.

The rate of defections shows that they have no chance at all in 2027.
You talk as though the whole voters are defecting with the political class. If he is confident that these defections guarantee his ultimate victory in 2027, let him reform the electoral act comprehensively.

By the time his eyes opens, the same PDP he fought for, will no longer exist and I will wonder which party he will and hide when APC won't be suitable for him, instead of him to build his party, he worked against his party just because of selfish interests.

that's not what he wants, there is no offer Tinubu will give Wike that will triumph Wike's hunger for presidency, so he doesn't need to work for APC. Wike has his eyes locked in on Aso rock, not just Abuja.

Wike wants to control the party and get it's ticket even if he has to force the members, he miscalculated that the governors can decamp and leave him.
If he leaves PDP and move to APC, they will destroy him politically cos he holds nothing in APC.

Wike has little control here in Rivers state.
Having the LGA chairmen while the people are against you is a very big hammer.

Except Fubara doesn't want to partake, Wike will not have the chance to rig an election

2. They will rig their their areas to their favor.

WIKE is too ambitious.
He is not ready to settle for VP when he knows that politics is mared by betrayals.
If he sees a chance, he will betray Tinubu just like he has always done.
Just that Tinubu is not giving him that chance

Forget chances, Tinubu is too grounded for a while to remove from office. That's not even an argument. Do you know what you're saying? Wike contest in PDP against Tinubu?

Wike can't be president except in 10 years when it's back to South

What u think is right is not how politicians reason.

Wike wanted the ticket open when he knew it could be microzoned to SE if they zone it to the south.
Then when Atiku won, he decided to lobby for VP, when he lost the position, he started clamouring for southern presidency.
A man who advocated for an open ticket was the same person that was shouting southern presidency.

Wike is only loyal to his interest, he is supporting Tinubu now but if he is offered a VP position elsewhere, he will change his stance.
If he gets a chance to be president, he will contest
