The best Wike will get is that ministerial position he holds right now, he'll never rule Nigeria. Write this down and save it for later.
Sheriff’s curse may still come to pass on the ingrate who has destroyed the party that made him from LGA chairman.

No room for Wike, Fayose in PDP again —Sheriff

Also reacting to the judgment, its apparent beneficiary, Senator Sheriff, vowed to put in place a machinery that would not give room to people like Governors Nyesom Wike and Ayodele Fayose of Rivers and Ekiti states, respectively in any future arrangement in the party.

“I will engineer a restructuring of PDP such that characters like Wike and Fayose cannot find a way through to attain any position of prominence in our party in the future. They have brought shame and agony through the application of their crude and godless politics which is at variance with the principles upon which our founding fathers built our great party.

“We must find a way to sieve things so that only men of character and integrity can come through for positions of responsibility at all levels of our political engagement in the country.

“We must urgently steer the ship of PDP clear of the path of infamy which Wike and Fayose has brought our party, making Nigerians to mistaken PDP as a training ground for thugs. That is the urgent task we have. We cannot continue to advertise thug brand and expect Nigerians to take us seriously,” he said.

In all, no matter what and how it goes PDP can never gather the momentum and morale to serve as a pathfinder of trust again.
You are a wiseman and you have spoken well about this matter.

Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT

Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.

Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.

The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.

The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.

The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.

Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.

2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.

Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku.
He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.
grin grin

He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party..
Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.


This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.

He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.

He must be feeling really used
Makinde actually lacks political discretion! In politics associates must trust you. He can no longer be trusted politically. What Wike is telling him is that: “Makinde you are politically illiterate and naive!” That is the reality on the ground. Those who hate Wike personally have their bone to lick but you cannot take away from his political sagacity! On the court decisions and electoral reality who runs PDP? It is Wike! Rivers State and FCT scenario are clear indicators of that! Other politicians should seek to learn from him!!!

Oga! Atiku’s political greed is responsible for the falling apart of PDP. Why will he be contesting as a Fulani man when a Fulani man is about to leave office? Is he not aware that it's the turn of a southern candidate?

The above was what Wike was fighting for. Simple!

You are not getting the figure of speech Wike is referring to right. Wike is telling Makinde that it is not only money that it takes to be a successful politician. Much more political wisdom is required. Wike is saying “Makinde do not be a political fool”. See how much Makinde has spent on the unfortunate pdp Amala Convention at Ibadan which came to nothing! Makinde has not made an inch progress in PDP. If anything he might soon be running away from PDP to another Party as the heat in PDP is roasting him to the point of political dehydration!

You think so? You can't be too sure. He might end up being sworn in as the president in 2039 after the North's eight year tenure.

I got your point, but in whatever you do in life, never bite a finger that once fed you,
PDP is in comatose today because after 2015 Election, after using the PDP platform Atiku left for Dubai and abandon the party while wike continue spending to keep the party going because he has the financial muscle , he was able to put Secondus as the Party leader even as he served as PDP governor, solely funding the party , he was pumping fund with little support from Makinde only for Atiku to return in 2019 to use his usual northern delegates number advantage to push wike aside and hijack the party for himself again to contest the 2019 election, same Atiku has now left the PDP the Party on platform he contested 3 times ,
Don’t think you can always use people and dump them, some people will fight you dirty .
Wike is one of those, he has taught Atiku a lesson because PDP would have won presidential election if wike had worked for Atiku May be.

In life, don’t think anyone is foolish when they hold ladder for you to climb up

Of what benefit is the present democratic government! No opposition, senators saying sirs up and down. Posterity would judge you bro Wike
We just don't know what democracy is all about. It failed 9ja in the 1960s, early 1980s and failing since 1999.

IBB had the golden opportunity to be a benevolent military dictator and set 9ja on the same path like Malaysia but he failed too.

Gerontocracy and monarchy are our natural governance system. Virtually every president except Yar'adua and GEJ have behaved like a monarch so far. Only that they don't have the fear of what will happen to their children later when they get to the throne.

Political positions have become like monarchies, but without the history, heritage and customs/traditions that guide them. The constitution/courts have no teeth to bite against politicians that control all the money and state power.
