Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike of Rivers State on Saturday said he was shocked by the comments made by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the political crisis rocking Edo state.

He also said former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole does not have the moral standing to tell Edo people not to vote for Governor Godwin Obaseki.

Governor Wike who is also the Chairman of PDP National Campaign Council for the Edo 2020 Governorship Election said the purported issue of secondary school certificate does not hold water.

He was reacting to comments by Oshiomhole during the flag off of the APC Governorship Campaign in Edo State.

The Governor berated the former APC National Chairman for his continued claims that Governor Obaseki is not a graduate even when the University of Ibadan has affirmed that he graduated from the institution.

Governor Wike challenged Oshiomhole to present his academic certificate to Edo people rather than advising them to shun a candidate he claimed to be the brainbox of his administration’s achievements.

“The certificate claims about Governor Obaseki by the former APC National Chairman is a non-issue because he is the best candidate for Edo State.

“It is unfortunate that we are in a country that somebody that does not have a certificate will question the one that has.

“Oshiomhole has trade test which is not an academic qualification. I challenge him to show the world his academic qualification.

“This same man he said has three credits was his brainbox when he was in government. So is it not better for Edo people to support a man that has three credits than to follow someone whom he said was a cultist and fake pastor who destroyed the manhood of his fellow man.

“Oshiomhole is trying to tell Edo people whatever he decides is what will be and this is an opportunity for Edo people to say no.

“His claim that if APC losses the election they will secure the mandate through the courts is a total confirmation that the Party cannot win the Edo election through the ballot box.

Securing victory through the courts will be null and void as there are still Judges in Nigeria with conscience who cannot dance to the tune of the APC,” he stated.

On the claims that President Muhammadu Buhari endorsed the APC Governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, Governor Wike challenged APC supporters to show evidence where the President announced that he has endorsed a man who is facing corruption charges of the EFCC.

He said the absence of the President and Vice President at the flag off of the APC Governorship campaign is a confirmation that he does not have their support.

On the comments by the former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu that the action of Governor Obaseki on the Edo State House of Assembly crisis was wrong, Governor Wike stated that he was surprised at his comments.

“Tinubu is one man that I have great respect for so when I read the papers, I was taken aback. It is unfortunate that members that were not inaugurated can turn around to illegally impeach people.

“What Governor Obaseki did is what any Chief Security officer should do. It is justifiable in order to avoid chaos,” he added.

Wike don’t be shocked.

Tinubu is the APC leader and he spoke about the election situation in Edo just like you as a PDP member have the right to speak about the election.

Ok

Politicians we always play politics with everything.

Your comments will not be pleasant to the ears of the APC.

So is Tinubu comments not pleasant to the PDP.

Remember, politicians will always talk

True talk. Is he expecting Tinubu to support PDP or Obaseki?

LegendHero:
Wike don’t be shocked.

Tinubu is the APC leader and he spoke about the election situation in Edo just like you as a PDP member have the right to speak about the election.

Wike shocked


This Edo election we shock many

Is Tinubu an electricity and Wike a conductor

d

I see wike in APC in future but meanwhile Edo is not Abia

Politicians sha, always twisting things.
All his own comments and actions in support of PDP/obaseki, in which account do we record dt?

He has liberty to support PDP but tinubu must take permission b4 he supports APC.

Why should this 'shocked' you? You do say worse than this as politician.

When Atiku Abubakar publicly showed support for Obaseki's moves as per the state assembly issue, APC people didn't make a fuss about it so what's with this issue over Tinubu's comments?

Tinubu is a special breed of human.

The only person that when he talks, the whole country will spend several weeks analyzing the contents of his words.

Twale to the jagaban!


Btw, who else noticed that Wike doesn't attack Tinubu aggressively the way he talks to others

“Tinubu is one man that I have great respect for so when I read the papers, I was taken aback.It is unfortunate that members that were not inaugurated can turn around to illegally impeach people."


Sometimes I wonder if this can happen in a developed country. Why do we always behave like rascals especially when it comes to election in Nigeria ?

APC really goofed on this one.

Wike is maturing day by day, knowing that no condition is permanent, spoke to Tinubu tongue in cheek, he is just shocked, unlike how he dragged Bode George during the PDP chairmanship elections, wherey moko iya e.

Lol.

Now here comes the syllogism.

1. We have great respect for Wike~ ipob lunatics

2. I have great respect for Tinubu ~ Wike

(Meaning Wike look up to Tinubu while ipob lunatics look up to Wike).

3. Therefore, Tinubu is an imaginary model to ipob miscreants. They are not qualified to look up to him. They can only look up to who looks up to Tinubu.

Wike keep to your lane

Tinubu is one man that I have great respect for so when I read the papers,

Notice how Emperor Wike stylishly faced the issue at hand, confirms his respect for Asiwaju.
Yet, some inconsequentials think he is not worthy of his feat. They keep asking what 'National Leader' stands to control, forgetting the position only complements his great strive, stand and accomplishments in politics.


I was taken aback.

If you feel it's right to deny them of their democratic right, then you would be worse off as a dictator. But, since such is not obtainable in Rivers state, I will conclude you are only try to justify your position as the Chairman of PDP National Campaign Council for the Edo 2020 Governorship Election.

Should we also get some shock absorbers for Emperor Wike?

Okoo

I have noticed how Gov Wike always managed to avoid abusing or insulting asiwaju Bola tinubu no matter the provocation.

Na only shock, abeg don't get electrocuted oo..

What moral justice do Wike has to be questioning about others statement?

Same Wike basketmouth ?

May be Tinubu should have campaigned for Obaseki so that you guys won't kpeme...

Wonders

Wike sef dey feel important ke..PDP National leader

When men dey talk, Nwike (as fondly called by Ipob miscreants) sef carry mic. Issokay

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Listen to oshiomhole speech this evening

And i must say oshiomhole is a disgrace

Ok

Wike wan join Bubu transmission line of shocking wires?

WIKE... The Lion Himself

So what was he expecting Tinubu to say? ,Wike should keep quiet if he doesnt have anything reasonable to say

Edo is for politically dogged people,you should face your cultism ravaged River state

Why should it shock you, they were never on the same page before na

Age is beginning to tell. The law of diminishing return has set it.

Please we the masses need to declare total lockdown on political movements, the shock Pandemic is spreading faster than we ever thought. Shock/Buhari disease has been recorded in PDP, anyone who ever had contact with any of the infected persons should endeavor to electrocute his/her self.

It's better to be electrocuted than to be shocked.

Wike forming James Bond
What surprises me is that he still got respect for tinubu inrespective of the circumstances.

Okay next

Wike don dey shock too

Thought it was on bubu ooo
