A presidential aide, Laolu Akande, has said that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, is to be pitied at this point in time.
According to him, the former Rivers State Governor has
surrounded himself with several political battles and enemies.
Speaking on his Youtube Channel, Akande, who was the special
adviser to former vice president, Prof Yemi Osibanjo, said, should Wike be
removed as minister, his political career would face a declining trend.
Speaking on the subject, ‘Why Wike is troubled,’ he said
“The moment you hear Wike, the immediate past, governor of Rivers, say in his
ongoing political tours in the state say that he doesn’t want to hear in the
state anything about PDP or APC anymore, but only Renewed Hope Family, know
that the man has started to realize his own limitations, after all.
“Now, Rivers State governor, Sim Fubara had given us a hint
of the unending palaver between Wike and himself with that song, ‘If you follow
Tinubu don’t do corner corner. Fubara dey tell you something’.
“So, we must pity Wike. His own choice of successor is
undoubtedly giving him a fight of his political life. We hope Nigerian
political gladiators are learning a lesson or two from Wike’s dilemma.
“Democracy is not dictatorship. So when you fail to carry
the people along, sooner or later, you’ll discover the foolishness of such
action somewhere down the road.
“But the day of reckoning is not here yet for Mr Wike…he
still has the gunpowder to deploy in his effort to keep his political
structures in River State intact. He has a lot of money to sustain the fight.
“So Wike is going to fight some more in his attempt to hold
Rivers State under his grip. I hope Wike is not already biting more than he can
chew. After all, not every politician can be a Jagaban.
“Wike has a series of puzzles with persons who helped lift
him up politically but he hasn’t been able to retire them from politics or to
permanently or significantly reduce their influence.
“Peter Odili is there, Goodluck Jonathan too, especially his
wife, Dr. Patience Jonathan and Chibuike Amaechi. Currently, Wike is living
politically by a desperate lifeline from Tinubu.
“Tinubu is the one now sustaining Wike. Imagine what will
happen to Wike if Tinubu removes him as a minister. Only Tinubu is around the
periphery of Wike’s good book for obvious reasons.
“As for the other he has either discarded them or the
relationship has completely run out. So, it is tough for our FCT minister. It
is not easy even for the strongest general to accumulate so many battles and
enemies all at once. So, we need to pity Wike.”
