Fayemi, Wike’s Newfound Friendship Set Tongues Wagging by dorothybella(op): 7:12am On Sep 21, 2019
There is no gainsaying the fact that recent weeks have been challenging for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The opposition party has been battling with cold since one of its pillar of strength , perceived financier and governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, sneezed.

The party has suffered one sleepless night after the other since the Rivers State governor stormed out of the venue of the presidential primaries of the party from which Alhaji Atiku Abubakar emerged the presidential candidate of the PDP in the build-up to the 2019 general elections. Since then, he has taken various other actions that left the minders of the party worried.

For instance, in the aftermath of the National Assembly elections where Hon. Kingsley Chinda, the candidate he and other party chieftains supported for the minority leader’s seat in the House of Representatives lost to Hon. Ndidi Elumelu, Wike roundly condemned the panel set up by the party to investigate the ‘coup’ against the party, describing it as corrupt.

Then came the dismissal of Atiku’s petition in the case he filed at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal against Buhari’s re-election. While the leaders and chieftains of PDP kicked against the judgment, Wike openly congratulated Buhari. Wike’s move sparked anger in PDP’s camp as chieftains of the party called his loyalty to question.

In the midst of these came the rapport the Rivers State governor developed with his Ekiti State counterpart, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, since Fayemi took his stand on Wike’s side in the latter’s alleged demolition of a mosque in Port Harcourt. Fayemi has since followed this up with a visit to Wike in Port Harcourt where he also commissioned projects.

The development has left many wondering if Fayemi’s actions were impelled by his position as the Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) or a prelude to an agenda that is yet to unfold. The more curious observers are even asking if Fayemi is the one anointed to midwife Wike’s final parting of ways with the PDP as is being speculated in some quarters.

Anything is possible with these our politicians.
By the way, no PDP or APC member can tell me the ideology of their party. Oh! I forgot, they don't have ideologies. What they only have are slogans. If you don't stand for something, you will stand for anything.
Re: Fayemi, Wike’s Newfound Friendship Set Tongues Wagging by AreaFada2:
There are people who naturally get along irrespective of political party. People do not have to be sworn enemies because of politics.

Both are governors too.

If Wike were to decamp to APC it won't be anything new. Nigerian politicians criss cross parties every time. Be it merging parties, splitting parties or outright cross over.

This is how politics should be, unity within themselves with political differences aside.
Makes it a more matured game played!

PDP are really daft, they keep scamming people and expect them to be friends after such scam, wike paid all your bills when everyone left them broke, but when Rich Atiku that destroyed the Party for not getting tickets in 2015 came back with money the fools gave themselves like bitchesss to Atiku..

When all SouthEast Governors and Ike Ekeweremadu bowed to Buhari's supremacy, going to Aso Rock almost every week prior to election, begging him for more slots and asking for igbo IGP and worked to give him the constituitionally needed 25% Wike stood gidigba and fought hard for PDP in Rivers against federal might..

If PDP cant give his man Tambuwal Presidential ticket, they cant give his boy chinda HOR minority leader, and they couldnt stand by him during his travails with INEC, the smart thing is to move to APC a party with the ideology of no monkey go dey work make baboons dey chop...

Look at Goodswill Akpabio that Decamped, Buhari rewarded him with the most juiciest Ministerial Slot ever, Enjoying a Budget many times bigger than that of a state, having Niger Delta Amnesty Money in his pocket, same as Silva now enjoyin Petroleum ministry.. Wike also wants abit of gratitude for his hustle
