The popular saying you can't eat your cake and still have it back is a reality many people don't understand.

During the administration of late Muhammadu Buhari, Nyesom Wike was either the most powerful or second most powerful opposition politician in Nigeria. Fast forward to 2023, out of anger and personal vendetta for Atiku Abubakar, Wike decided to introduce a new style of politics in Nigeria. He stayed in PDP, bought huge structure of the party and pulled the party down to destroy the politicians who turned against him during the PDP presidential primaries.

That single act lead to the emergence of President Tinubu even though the election was .........

Wike earned himself a very juicy ministerial position equivalent to a governor. He continued in the destruction of PDP's structure aiming for the complete obliteration of the party which I believed he has succeeded by 80% because currently the party has only 2 governors without plan of defection (Seyi Makinde and Baba Mohammed although I don't trust Bala).

Back to Rivers State. Wike has destroyed that structure that made him very powerful and if APC gives Governor Fubara a second term ticket come next year, more than 50% of Wike's loyalist will shift camp to the governor because the governor has become the political leader of the state.

APC as a party will not give Wike much access to the party structure as it happened in PDP, Wike will be sidelined in APC and as it stands, he cannot touch Fubara anymore because the governor is now the property of APC.

Wike will soon understand that life is all about give and take and he has given and has taken.

One good thing about Tinubu is that he hardly forgets his loyalists -Wike has served him well, dont think he will allow his political career suffer

Senseless cho cho cho instead of getting a meaningful job.

The game is still on. Wike is a political strategist. Fubara should be careful.

... And your think Fubara defecting to the APC isn't due to Wike's influence and pressure? You're funny. You couldn't comprehend how Wike and Fubara could make peace. Well, sorry

Yeah, Tinubu is a good politician when it comes to being faithful unlike some politicians like Atiku.

But like I said, it's give and take. Come next year Wike's political influence will drop by 50%

Political strategist that lost two consecutive presidential primaries to his arch foe even with the billions at his disposal?

Suggest what Wike can donto Fubara now......he dare not risk it ..if not he wud be crushed so much that he would need multiple surgeries..APC members detest him

If you look for Tinubu tommorow and can't find him. Wike will be picked like an ordinary worm by a chick. Even a thousand Justice Omotoshos cannot save him.

It is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that Wike is sinking. Like R Kelly lyrics .......... sinking to rise no more ' because he had destroyed relationships and affiliations beyond reconciliation. He over use his political power like there will be no tomorrow.

With the way he is shrinking these days, he may had a terminal disease which he knew that the tomorrow is not really there.

Unfortunately, Wike is not a Tinubu's loyalist. He is just a political strategist like Tinubu. He needed to align with Tinubu to continue to achieve his political dreams and except his political dream continues to align with that of Tinubu, then he is a goner.

Wike gave him Rivers state votes block, and he gave Wike Fct minister, so I don’t think Tinubu still owes Wike anything…. If Wike need something in future, he should give something as tangible as Rivers votes block… but currently mr president doesn’t need it because He has rivers state in his pocket currently…

So what can Wike give now that he’s at the mercy of Tinubu, absolute nothing… wike’s political humiliation will be louder than Amaechi’s

His only political card at the moment is judges he’s trying to seek favour from by building houses for all of them… but still not enough to fight tooth and nail with a strong heavyweight politician that has the backing of mr president, because the president controls the judiciary and the National Assembly…

So what’ll be the fate of Wike in 3years time…

No any sessional politicians like Tinubu will trust Sim, all Sim is doing presently is just eye service, go and write it down, they'll still Bleep him up when time comes

Even you yourself can you trust Sim...?

Wike as proved that he's a man that can be trusted and loyal to what ever agreement he as with is associate which is key in politics

Tinubu will be leaving power in 2031 he still need some of his associate to still remain relevant in power

Some of you don't know that Wike friendship with Tinubu and his associate didn't just started in 2023

Nyesom Wike has already over achieved, even if he stepped away from politics yesterday, his achievements will still be loudly celebrated.

I agree with u, Nyesom Wike will choose the Rivers State APC’s governorship candidate for APC in the 2027 election.

Most probably settle for his loyalist the present speaker of the state house of assembly.

Lol. Naive analysis. Just like Aregbesola abi? Even a child knew Wike's disgrace will be monumental. Politics is not a charity game.

What's political power without a party? What party does Wike belong to?
What leverage does he have left to bargain with?

Rivers has been delivered to Abuja on a platter, PDP has been destroyed, Wike is hated both at home and abroad.

He's a political liability now, only a child cannot see it.

Keep deceiving yourself, Wike singlehandedly crippled the Pdp in Rivers State, & the irony is that he is not even done yet, he made the likes of Odili & Amaechi his former bosses worthless, & handed Rivers State over to Tinubu, he is the Godfather of Rivers state politics.

And he will choose the governorship candidates for both the APC & PDP in 2027, a strong person for the APC, & a weak person for the PDP, No one in Rivers State is on his level, please 🙏 bow down to the King of Rivers state politics.

As for Fubara, he to has being totally incapacitated, let him enjoy his remaining years & months as governor, The APC in 2027 with the consent of Nyesom Wike will choose another person that will truly represent their interests.

Lol. I have no time for irrational discourse. As far has politics in SS is concerned, WIKE is cooked. Do you even know there's a squabble between Akpabio and Oshiomole? Wike cannot be in the same conversation with gladiators in APC in SS, you simply don't understand what's going on. PDP was his political capital and he has unwittingly decimated it.

I wouldn’t even call your baseless assertion wishful thinking, that may be giving u 5% logical reasoning, more like delusional, 0% logic, mixed up with a misconstrued imagination.

correction Wike is not a Tinubu loyalist, he's just a Tinubu opportunist and Tinubu knows that very well. Remember 2020 during Edo state elections, where Wike told Tinubu, Edo no be Lagos?? A mantra that saw Obaseki win second term. Would you say Wike na loyalist then? Tinubu knows Wike that's why he's using him. Tinubu told Wike during his visit in PH after the 2023 elections, that he owes him Wike nothing. Tinubu knows that Wike is not a loyal person, rather an opportunist. That's why he's doing what he's doing, Wike is been played like chess.

Na true Tinubu also knows that Reno Omokri is not a loyalist, just an opportunist, but notwithstanding still made him an Ambassador, that has been making u Monday morning political analysts wail upandan?

You're on point with this brilliant comment.
There's a difference between an opportunist and a loyalist. Tinubu only used Wike for a job and he has completed the job more than 80% because currently there's almost no opposition at the federal level and the oppositions at few state level are still loyal to Tinubu like Anambra etc

Wike and trust in the same sentence ?

Are you sure you’re not a Ghanaian ?

How did Wike treat Odili and his family after he felt he has arrived ?

How did the romance between Wike and Amaechi end ?

How did Wike and Jonathan’s family relationship end ?


I rather trust sim than trusting Wike…

In wike’s political career only once has he been betrayed and by Tambuwal …,

He has been the one doing the betraying

Exactly the main reason for my post. When Jonathan visited Rivers State last year, he told Wike that he should understand that politics is give and take. Wike has given to and taken from Tinubu. So what's he giving to Tinubu for 2027

Wike's case is a typical case of cutting your nose to spite your face.

He is still going to regret his actions but it might be too late by then

But he forgot El-Rufai that fought Buhari on his behalf
