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.

Wike Boasts Of Helping APC Use Judiciary To Kill Osun LG Funds Case, Warns Party Leaders Against Ingratitude

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly boasted that he assisted certain elements within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in deploying the judiciary to frustrate the Osun State local government allocation lawsuit.

In a video now circulating widely on social media and obtained by SaharaReporters, Wike made the claim while addressing a crowd in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The former Rivers governor accused the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, of benefitting from judicial actions against the Osun State Government without knowing those who did the work behind the scenes.

The suit in question led to the withholding of local government funds in Osun State, a development widely seen as targeting the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as opposition in the state.

Wike, who spoke angrily, suggested that the court action supporting the APC’s position against the Osun government did not happen by chance, boasting that powerful political forces worked quietly to ensure the outcome.

“Don’t take our support for Mr President for granted,” Wike warned, in an apparent message to APC leaders defending Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. “You have to be careful about the statements you make. You have to be very careful.”

He accused Basiru of political ingratitude, claiming the APC was enjoying in Osun State without understanding who engineered their advantage.

“Today, you are enjoying in Osun. You don’t know those who did the work,” Wike said. “You are opening your mouth to talk about Rivers State.”

When these corrupt thieving politicians talk about structures and their ability to deliver,it simply means that they can corruptly influence INEC and Judiciary.
On a good day Wike can not get upto 10% of Rivers vote but this is Nigeria,anything goes.
Not just that.

It means they will occupy the vacuum left by people who are too sophisticated to engage in various aspects of politics and advocacy?

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

PREMIUM TIMES had reported how Nigeria recorded a new low in voter turnout during the last general elections. With a national turnout of 29 per cent, a Premium Times analysis showed that the last election had the lowest participation rate in the country’s six decades of independence.

It further revealed that of the 93.4 million registered voters this year, 87.2 million people collected their Permanent Voters Card and the total number of actual voters on election day was only 24.9 million..The winner of the election, Bola Tinubu, had less than nine million votes, roughly 10 per cent of the total eligible voters.

Another analysis by this newspaper revealed that all the 18 candidates in Nigeria’s February elections received only 27.55 per cent of the total eligible votes.

Rufai, It is better you declare yourself as the spokes person of Atiku because it seems you are gradually moving away from Obi. Instead of directing your question to Wike, ask Atiku why he has been loosing elections back to back? Atiku thought he has strategy but Wike let him know if you don't rate me, I will work with people that rate me. Has this same Rufai questioned why Tambuwal played Wike at the primaries despite the support Wike gave him, is that not a treacherous behaviour from Tambuwal? Atiku and Tambuwal thought they have outsmarted Wike not knowing pay back time will come.

Wike sleeps and wakes up seeing atiku that's how bad the man cut him to size

So much so him entire life na to play oppression "get back at atiku"
Wike is not Atiku mate in PDP but he chased Atiku out of PDP.

Everyone who followed the then PDP primaries, know that wike had the upper hand

If not for the last minute stepping down of Amonu Tambuwal

At least wike participated in the primaries and came second.

Has your Peter obi participated in any primaries all through his political career.

Wike is greater than Atiku and Peter Obi in politics

PDP really did Wike dirty in that primary election.
that tells you technically that Atiku was far bigger and more influential than Wike for someone like Tambuwal to step down for Atiku. It was actually a game plan all along which is similar to the power play Tinubu does play.

Since Atiku left office, how many senators. House of Rep and House of Assembly members has he sponsored and won not to talk of Governors.

Same is applicable to Peter obi, how many has obi sponsored and won it.

Wike has sponsored many senators. House of Rep, House of Assembly, Governors and won it.

Wike is greater than obi and Atiku

Nawa for this your analysis sha… wike didnt chase Atiku from pdp! Atiku just left the party because of his ambition and with so many problems in PDP, it will only take a fool to contest under the PDP.

Wike is surely overrated politically, and is as usual basking in his abrasive personality which he uses as a smokescreen to mask some obvious flaws in his character and politics. Even when in 2018, he insisted on bringing the PDP primaries to PH and sponsored Tambuwal to run against Atiku with the expectation of being made the VP, Atiku floored him. In 2022, he travelled through out the country, telling delegates that he bankrolled the PDP since 2015, he still lost to Atiku. Thereafter, he started behaving like a jilted lover. His saving grace is that Late Buhari didn't play dirty politics. His political era would've ended by now, and we'd have been saved the decibellic distractions.

So, Atiku had more dollars to settle delegates than Wike. Did he pay more dollars than Wike to Tambuwal for him to make a turn from Wike in 2022?


Wike is politically naive. Pitching a fight against the APC governors Tinubu is relying on for 2nd term has further exposed how much of a baby politician he just is. Even Tinubu with all the powers of a president won't try to confront the govs head on.
