Overplaying Power: Why Wike’s Latest Moves Could Backfire by okrote4real(op): 9:38pm On Jan 05
BY ANTHONY ADA ABRAHAM

The way Nyesom Wike has continued to ridicule Governor Sim Fubara is deeply annoying and distasteful to keen political observers.
Wike is clearly doing too much. History has shown that when power is abused or overplayed, the fall often comes unexpectedly.

Some schemes are best kept quiet; this open display of dominance only exposes weakness. Beyond embarrassing Governor Fubara, this show of strength ridicules the people of Rivers State and even the President who supported Wike’s continued relevance in national politics.

After the political battle with Fubara was concluded and the President intervened to reinstate him, Wike should have drawn the line. His current actions make it obvious that he is now indirectly fighting his own principal, all in the name of settling scores with Fubara even after the matter was resolved.

Furthermore, the federal government’s recognition of another figure as the APC leader in Rivers State, and Wike’s refusal to accept this while allegedly using the state APC structure to undermine that decision, amounts to yet another confrontation with the President.

Wike insists he remains in the PDP. If that is truly the case, why not focus on building the party by presenting a candidate of his choice, instead of attempting to dominate Fubara politically? If he truly believes he has the influence he claims, he should allow Fubara to freely align with the APC and prove his strength through legitimate political means.
This brewing conflict must stop. Another presidential intervention could spell serious political consequences for Wike and it may not end in his favour.

This is so true.

Wike leave Fubara alone.

Go back to the drawing board and prepare your preferred candidate for the election and meet fubara at the polls.

All these maddog rantings is truly very annoying and diminishing the good people of River State.

If the gods want to destroy someone they first make him a mad man. Wike's catastrophic downfall is near.
