NYESOM EZENWO WIKE ON A LIFE SAVING MACHINE: The Emergence Of A New Political Realignment In Rivers State. By David Adenekan

Barr Nyesom Ezenwo Wike

"Nobody touches the tail of a deadly cobra and goes scot free except you are very wise with mystical power to cut the cobra by the head." - David Adenekan.

"PBAT is a tactician and his political sagacity, bad or good is unparalleled in the political history of Nigeria. Call him a political monster or a devil, but one ought to give it to a man that has pocketed Lagos state, the financial hub of sub sahara Africa for more than two and a half decades and he is currently bracing up to replicate the same feat at the federal level."


To start with, there is power in the tongue. This is just one very good thing about the internet, it never forgets. 

For historical perspective and for the purpose of this article, let us look at some of the past quotes of Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, par adventure, we may have a better grasp of this piece:

"I will never disappoint PDP; if I disappoint PDP I will never have peace in my life."

"All those who are scheming against Rivers State, just watch how they will be having problems."

"Only one person can be a minister, I will not be a minister. I am not a liability."

"When I heard people declaring for APC, saying they want to continue the good job of Mr. President, the good job of people dying everyday, the good job of naira falling everyday. I feel so ashamed that we are falling to the level of sycophancy. People will come and say I want to continue the good job of Buhari. What is the good job of Buhari; of hunger is good job, of poverty is good job, of insecurity is good job, of economic falling is good job. It is such a shameful thing."

Yes, the power of life and death is in the tongue. 

At this juncture, it is very imperative to say Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has turned himself against the tide of his greatness (PDP), and he may not survive the great storm.

Methinks, Nyesom Wike may be trashed into the dustbin of history. In other words, his political oblivion is looming.......

Yes, the only reason PBAT is floating him as one of his stakeholders was his hitherto grip of Rivers state for PBAT'S 2027 re-election. But, now that it seems that he has lost the grip of power, PBAT is already shopping for another key political actor that can hold sway in Rivers state. 

It seems Nyesom Ezenwo Wike will soon be out of favor with the Lion of Bourdillon in Aso Rock.

Yes, Wike might have outlived his usefulness in the political calculation of PBAT for 2027 re-election.

A new political re-alignment is evolving in Rivers State and trust me, Siminalayi Fubara will only align with a camp that will protect his political interest. 

Hmmm, who says Siminalayi Fubara may not join the deadly PBAT camp, not to dare the cobra?

Again, who says!!

Suffice it to say, human beings are political animals. 

Watch out for the new political re-alignment in Rivers State that may baffle your imagination.

What a people!

No permanent friend or enemy in politics, what you have is permanent interest.

With the resounding victory of the just concluded local government election that favors Siminalayi Fubara, a game changer that may exclude Wike from the new political equation of Jagaban, is already in the offing.

PBAT is a tactician and his political sagacity, bad or good is unparalleled in the political history of Nigeria. Call him a political monster or a devil, but one ought to give it to a man that has pocketed Lagos state, the financial hub of sub sahara Africa for more than two and a half decades and he is currently bracing up to replicate the same feat at the federal level.

Yes, you may not like his deadly politics of "carrot and stick (hiring and firing)," but one ought to give it to an emperor in a so called democracy. 

"Nobody touches the tail of a deadly cobra and goes scot free except you are very wise with mystical power to cut the cobra by the head." - David Adenekan.

Who will bell the cat to save the antelope from the jaw of a lion? This kind of political scenario may also be a political cul-de-sac for Siminalayi Fubara if he is not very calculative to thread with great caution. 

A political dead end indeed!

Is Rivers State not in a state of political quagmire?

Only time will tell!
