Unfortunately, Wike is going to be relevant in Nigerian Politics for a long time.
He knows the game very well.

Hehe... We have many of them in my state. When they're in power, they reason them self as alpa and omega.

I'll not call names. There was one that was trying to throw power tantrums with our Royal King, but look at him today, he's like a forgotten fart in the wind.... It's as if he was never a governor in the state.

There's another one that would have equally gone into obsolescence if not that his party won this last election, and he got a seat in the senate... Though this one is arguably the best governor we have had in our state (in his first term).

Adedibu..

Ibadan high chief did more.

He’s Amala politics was all he needed to conquer Yoruba land

The death of Adedibu made tinubu conquer yorubaland

Fact..
tinubu political sagacity stopped at Lagos .. when Adedibu was alive.. those chickens those days Olumo and co dare not cough even in Lagos

Baba locked everywhere and everything he died like birds from the cage they all flew free

Wike hasn’t seen anything .. na he’s little occult power he Dey flex

If Akpabio alone mean am .. he will bounce.. even his brother Ameachi wey don calm down becaaue of time and age

If he really mean wike on fight to finish Oga go enter cocoon.

"His Reign is not forever"

I agree.

My assertion is that he will be here for long time.

El-Rufai has some form of decency and was not as ruthless as Wike.

El Rufai knows nothing. He's overrated. After Tinubu, na Wike next.

How is he overrated? Because he came back to the country despite knowing that Tinubu was going to arrest him out of fear? Not everyone will be a NADECO democrat who will run out of the country and be fighting for democracy from Chicago. Elrufai made Tinubu president.

Wike can't stand in the shadows of Chief Tony Aneni. Nigeria's Mr fix it. Wike is a clown and a charlatan. His access to state resources and treasury of Rivers state is the only reason why he makes so much noise. If Chief Tony Aneni was still alive and actively engaged in politics, Wike would have been cut to size long ago.

Wike, Peller, President Tinubu have one thing in common, they are Akanda eyan ( Extra ordinary)

If you think it's their technical know how to be getting most things right then you must be jonzing

El Rufai in his haydays told foreign delegate they will go back in body bags. Maybe you weren't politically minded then. He was even more powerful than Buhari himself.

Chief Lamidi Adedibu the Garrison Commander of politics in Ibadan.

You dare not cross him. State Governors
and politicians in Yorubaland go to pay him homage every month with gifts of cows, cars and cash.

His Molete home in Ibadan was a Mecca for SW politicians and aspirants seeking political blessings.

Lam Adeshina, Ladoja, Alao-Akala were his boys. When Gov Ladoja decided to cross him, he was thrown out like a sack of worn-out clothes from the Agodi government house in Ibadan. He did not need federal might like Wike did against Fubara..

He held no official political position or power but he commanded respect from the length and breadth of Nigeria..

Wike the coward hides under federal might and needed Tinubu's support to cut Fubara to size..

Leave Wike without any political position, and see him deflate within 24hours. He will feel so insecure and run away from this country. A proper coward..

Gen-Z people, no be today politics start. Wike na small boy where men dey. Na fear fear man Wike be, na why he no fit stay without appointment..

Late Adedibu politics start and end in Oyo state like the late saraki in Kwara state. None of them campaign and win any governorship election in another state. TINUBU did in osun and ekiti state aside Lagos state

What Wike has successfully done is to build an organic structure of men, with alliances in the police force and judiciary. He might be relevant for a very long time....He is a grassroot politician and he is generous.

Adedibu or whatever was not half the man Wike was.

His name didn't echo outside Southwest.
Even though I hate Wike and would love to see him fall, there are just few politicians that can compete with Wike if they have same power, and those are Atiku, El-Rufai, Tinubu, I can't think of another person

Grand master of ibandan politics...

He is so powerful that he attracted the attention and support of Obasanjo..

He could achieve all that cuz the people loved him..he didn't die a wealthy man..

He gave and constantly gave his all to the people...that is why he lasted so long

He could easily tell the people.whom to vote for and they will follow not because he wants any personal gain, but he wants a governor that works...

He doesn't do court judgements magic and bribery of judiciary..u will simply not win at the polls..

He is good man, even dou he likes authority

He openly disagreed with Buhari to support Tinubu. You heard recently when we were reminded that he asked WHO ARE THE ELDERS IN THE NORTH, now that he's in prison, they too are waiting for the answer.

Huh? He wants a governor that works? Works for who? The same Adedibu that disturbed Ladoja for security votes? Abeg make una de lie small small. His TV interview is still online

Chief Lamidi Adedibu demanded 50% of Oyo State's security vote amounting to roughly N30 million monthly from then-Governor Rashidi Ladoja as part of their political agreement.

Don't let me mention Lam Adesina, Alao Akala and Kolapo Ishola but look at life, most of them are dead today.

Adedibu has been the PA of Obafemi awolowo and never held any political power or post.. and yet she’s a strong man in nigeria politics am not Yoruba .. and I know him , you said he’s not known outside southwest
Where was tinubu in Nigeria and Yoruba land when Adedibu was alive ??
Tinubu got to Yoruba with the legal help of salami the appeal president that gave him three Yoruba states .. for his party and buhari who aligned with him to power

Outside this factor .. tinubu was nowhere in Nigeria politics

Obasanjo withhelding his local government funds never had anything with his political lead in Yoruba land

You’re a kid like others in this forum .. go and ask your father and grandfathers who is Adedibu during the 2nd republic.. days of AG .. he was the MC Olumo is his time only more tougher and an executor of necessity

He didn’t just start in 99’ as of when he died he was 80
Not your genz politician

Keep off my mention .. I don’t deal with gen z
Re: Give An Example Of A Politician That Was Strong Like Wike Before ? by Odin13: 9:42am On Oct 05
Gen Z ‘s don’t know Lamidi Adedibu … they know wike elrufai.. if elrufai had died in 2006.. they might not known him..
thank God he’s the godfather to the Yoruba Demi god .. that betrayed him .. he’s bola’s kingmaker ..

Talking wike .. with all his political posts and accumulating of wealth .. Chris uba in that position will make him look like a toddler in politics
This are people that locked up a governor in a toilet and heaven did not fall.. without holding a single post

Yet they scream wike

That’s to show that genz has taken over Nairaland

One has to be care what he discuss and monikers you reply..

Wike of yesterday with his money ..

Ameachi beast him and loyal him for more than 8 years and he keep answering sir to same RA..

He has stolen enough and now wants to be Andy uba and Chris Uba of rivers state .. people that conquered region for PDP!

And he’s only a name .. not even conquered his Rivers state .. or FCT..

When men were men

Now toddlers has become sisi and men are gone with history

But those who came still knows and remembers.. before it happened .. history has already been made
Re: Give An Example Of A Politician That Was Strong Like Wike Before ? by Walai(m): 10:51am On Oct 05
Everyday these genzs keep creating unnecessary thread without calming down to learn from elders
Who is Wike compared to the Uba's that literally kidnapped a sitting governor
Wike can't make any noise near Sen Arthur Nzeribe of Imo State, Adedibu of Oyo state, Tony Anenih of Edo state. Amaechi was even more connected at the Presidential level, a two time Presidential campaign DG and most powerful Transport Minister who controlled billions of dollars in Buharis railway project.
These children always mistake noise for power

so we are talking about a 1960 politician?
Buhari, Abacha, Awolowo, Aguiyi Ironsi, Ernest shonekan, Obasanjo etc, these are names that echo till this present day.

If I need to go back to my great grandfather to get information, then he was nothing to begin with.
His name died with him
