Give An Example of a Politician that was Strong like Wike before but now Silenced ,Rejected ,Brushed Aside , Irrelevant,Frustrated ,Ignored and Abandoned or facing the Wrath of Law .

Nigeria Political Atmosphere dey be like Na Me Dey there now ,I go dey there forever ,Before you know it ...Events Would Change Everything..

Wike .Step the Floor Small ,Small oooo .But Baba Oldest Whisky no go hear. .

It's well

Point of correction, by empirical facts & history Wike is not strong

From an Overview of his rise, advancement & post ...His political influence has not cimmanded resuly in any state other than Rivers only

And this is the Basis upon which Wike is powerful as to Hall of Fame of Kingmakers ..wike is nowhere to be found

2023 is Wike biggest entry .. wike worked with the G5 governors and weighing the Votes wike added to Tinubu vote its inconsequential cos you can minus it nd Tinubu stil win

By l2023 election ...Their is no record acclaimed Wike make anybody Governor outside rivers or senators outside River

Using 2023 primary election to evaluate, Wike is not even most powerful in Pdp ..he lost the prinary to Atiku grand style

when you look at kingsmakers like Baba Adedibu, obasanjo and Tinubu these are the Men inpower hall of fame. outside there state they crown people to sit

When you look at Men like Obasanjo & Tinubu this Men act like Power CBN .... Wike today is nobody without Tinubu, 90% of what wike appears to get away with is Becos of Tinubu backing

Wike power is dependant you dont call that powerful, Tinubu depended on no one Mantle to command authority

if Tinubu discard wike today ....Can he control the police or hold on to PDP for long

. answer those rhetorics nd you have your answers.

You're quite right. Odili was also influential with Obasanjo. That's why Rivers is a "battleground state"!

Re: Give An Example Of A Politician That Was Strong Like Wike Before ? by Successlane: 11:26am On Oct 06

Remove Wike as minister and watch him struggle to win even a single local government in Rivers State.

Much of Wike’s so-called political influence comes from the federal machinery at his disposal.

He knows this all too well, which is why he cannot afford to fall out with the President—just as with Jonathan and also with Tinubu. He knows the importance of maintaining that relationship.

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

Do you think Wike would have defeated Fubara if Tinubu had not made him a minister and supported him fully?

Just leave them make them dey cap Is there any Governor that carry GeJ for head like him look what he shunned out during GeJ second term Presidential election....

The vote was like a million...

If GeJ had more Wike we won't be finding ourselves with APC....

Even Fayose carried GeJ for head too but he couldn't deliver his state for GeJ. I remember him sponsoring different publication on Buhari health and why people shouldn't vote for him...

GeJ had a lot of betrayal.

They're talking about federal might so there was no federal might when he won his second term election or when he helped Obaseki..

How can you compare Ameachi to Jonathan?

How many Senators, House of Reps and House and assembly seats did Ameachi win as a sitting governor in his second tenure?

Did Ameachi make his candidate succeed him as a governor?

Don't say what you don't know, Ameachi was just a puppet APC used to fund Buhari's campaign

Chris Uba.
A very powerful godfather in Anambra state who was responsible for kidnapping a sitting governor Chris ngige.

Like Wike,Uba was responsible for making ngige the state governor of Anambra state.

Just like Wike,Uba expected absolute loyalty and unchecked control over state finances. When Governor Ngige refused to surrender state funds or appoint Uba's loyalists, a violent political crisis erupted, including the 2004 abduction of Ngige and arson attacks on state buildings.

What wike did was child's play compared to Chris Uba.

But do you know who finally crumbled,tamed and clipped the wings of the braggadocios godfather of Anambra state?😏😏

Tony Anenih a.k.a Mr Fix It

I remember seeing him in 2011 at a Catholic church in Asokoro.He had left power by then and had just one mopol officer following him around.He looked so old and pathetic.
I also saw Vincent Ogbulafor (former pdp chairman/chieftain) at thesame church looking haggard.No one even recognized him

You're wrong. Adedidu only held sway in Ibadan and that's even because Lam Adesina failed. Osun has never really had a godfather unless if we say maybe now Dr Deji Adeleke to his brother. As small as Osun is, stubborn people too plenty. Even Tinubu lost Osun before his own Presidential election and funny he should win it for next election because he's tried for Osun state. Otherwise, dem go show am red card.

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).

Make I still help you with one cus I witness his regime when I was in your state 2002-2006. Luck Igbinedion.

Wike is nothing without Abuja backing

Fubara wanted not just to challenge him but to render him politically irrelevant

Wike ran to Abuja and got saved

Anambra had the Uba brothers who went as far as kidnapping Governor Ngige and kept him in their house. Two of the brothers were senators and one served as governor for 2 weeks but they are all out of power now.

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.

Absolutely the very hungry and irrelevant ones are giving him morale that's why. Anenih was a real pusher but very deadly
