High-wired political negotiations and horse-trading ahead of the 2023 presidential election continued on Thursday as former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, met Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, in London, who has turned the most sought-after bride. Others at the meeting were Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State; Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State; Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, former Cross River State governor, Donald Duke, and Senator Olaka Nwaogu.

Wike, a major stakeholder in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been having a running battle with the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and efforts to reconcile both men have not yielded any positive result with just six months to the presidential election.

The rift between the duo started after the governor’s ambition of becoming the party’s vice presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections failed following the emergence of Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, as Atiku’s running mate.

Wike and his associates had demanded the resignation of the national chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu, as the first condition for reconciliation, but Atiku and some party leaders refused to accede to the request.

Details of the meeting was not made public but an aide of Obasanjo said it was aimed at soliciting Wike’s support for Obi’s presidential ambition.

According to him, Obasanjo, who is very passionate about the unity of Nigeria, believes it is the turn of the South-East to produce the next president of Nigeria in the spirit of justice, equity and fairness.

“From all indications, it is about the 2023 presidential election. Everybody wants the support of Wike who has made it clear that he will not support his party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

“Baba (Obasanjo) believes in the unity of this country and his desire is that a politician from the South-East extraction becomes the next president in 2023. As you know, no Igbo man has occupied the highest political office in the land since the restoration of democracy in 1999”.

On the visit by other presidential candidates to Obasanjo, the aide said there was nothing unusual about it as they are free to notify him and seek his blessings.

“As an elder statesman and former military head of state and two-term president, there is nothing wrong in various candidates visiting Baba for prayers and advice. But he also has a right to support anyone he desires”, he said.

2023 will be decisive.

Look at Wike's face, he is forming for Atiku.

Rivers State is among the top 3 states in Nigeria after Lagos and Kano. Ignoring him is like refusing to collaborate with Ganduje or Sanwo Olu to deliver the state for the Presidency.
Besides Rivers State has the economic capacity to contribute financially to any candidate even more than Kano.

Meanwhile

Wike is turning UK into tourism for Nigerian Politicians

Wike, you better negotiate with wisdom at this crucial time. Your decision now will chart the path of your political relevance after 2023 and beyond. This is a decisive moment for you. Please align wisely. Calculate well.

It's foolhardy to be fooled by the same people twice in a lifetime. Those that betrayed Wike in PDP will not fail to betray him again if the opportunity comes. And those that caused Nigerians hardship will not wait to do same over and over again.

Our mumu don too much.

Lol rn wike go dey feel like a princess from the Sicilian

As it stands now, Governor Wike has no other choice than to work in favor of Either Tinubu or Peter Obi because regardless of any reconciliation between him and Atiku, PDP as it stands today will forever see Wike as a saboteur regardless the out come of the 2023 Election.. And after his tenure as a governor, he will likely lose relevance in PDP.

For those who think PDP will love a lot of votes in Rivers State because Wike switch Alliance, please have it in mind that just as Tinubu is trying to convince southern PDP politicians to work for him come 2023 election, Atiku is also convincing some APC governors up North to switch Alliance while still remaining in APC.

The difference is that While the Northeners are silent about this, the southern politicians are being extremely loud about their plans.

In 2015 almost all Northern PDP governors worked against GEJ and I can assure you Come 2023 majority of Northern APC will work in favor of Atiku.

Wike is not a threat to Atiku
Tinubu is not a threat to Atiku
Peter Obi is not a threat to Atiku.
The only threat Atiku might face is up North and that is Kwankwaso and his kwankwasiya movement....

Atiku will get the Needed 25% votes in most of the southern states And will likely get at least 60% votes up North.

Those of you thinking Northerners will choose VP over President are high on fantasies.

So when we say Atiku is coming we are simply stating the unavoidable facts.

I woke up today to the dollar at 710 naira. Talk about the track record of Tinubu.

Tinubu campaigned against 195 naira to a dollar 7 years ago but he is silent on 710 naira to a dollar. Can someone define hypocrisy and evil to me again?

This means that the average Nigerian can never own a house.

Nigeria is an importing country. So, all foreign goods will be almost impossible for the common man to purchase.

Who claimed the credit for giving us Buhari?

Who should claim the blame?

Talk about track record?

Maybe for the financial warchest, but for votes, rivers people are independent voters..

The clamour for wike is for the financial war chest his state has

As strong as he is politically, his tenure is winding down

As it stands, the people in Rivers cannot be told who they would vote for , they would look at the candidate and see the one that would benefit them

It is obvious to you and I that they would vote wisely

So baba OBJ even get strength to de waka about without somebody holding his hand or shoulders? Even Atiku too get strength to stand alone without any aid. But one Agbado master no fit stand without somebody holding him and he claims to be younger than d other two men, and u tell me that's not d mystery of d century?

Peter Obi will be declared Nigeria president come 2023!

The youth of this country Nigeria will never learn
We have forgotten so soon the evil going on in Nigeria caused by these greedy politicians,
Caused by these celebrated & overrated wicked men in power.
Now we have started singing their names again,
We have started fighting our selves & throwing stones at each other.
Well folks, if we fail as the youth, then maybe we have failed forever.
Nigeria is our home & not the space we hear about
Plz vote wisely.

WIKE INDABOSKI

Wike will surely cash out heavily in this season

Waste of aviation fuel!

Atiku and Obi can meet with whoever in any location, one thing they fail to realize is that, it won’t alter anything, and His Excellence, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, remains unshaken.


Asiwaju is light years ahead of all his fictional opponents.

Yet we Complain FX is going high. Please tell me why this meeting could not hold in anywhere in Nigeria. The Black race really needs reassessment.

Wike's major aim is to be with the eventual winner of 2023.

He just might end up shooting himself in the foot.

Wike man with the ⚽⚽

Atiku is not in this race. He's a distant 3rd at best. Deny all you want, 2023 will humble a lot of you. The best chance he had was SS & SE, not North.

If Atiku was wise, he would have chosen a vice from the south east, and made Wike (SS) his campaign DG. All those terrible choice of words in his Arise TV interview should never have happened. These steps would have given him a fair chance to spar with Peter Obi in the region.

I said it and will continue saying it, the only person that can give Atiku any hope of winning in the South South and South East is Wike. The kind of love people in that axis have for him is out of this world. Atiku should just swallow his ego and beg Wike. Tinubu is a cat lurking around ready to snatch away this big fish. A word is enough for the wise.

Wike should enjoy the show while it last.

Thieves of the same agenda rolls together.

Gandah:
Wike man with the ⚽⚽

Man with so much Rivers money.

The headline should be Wike Becomes The Most Confused Politician Right Now

Nigeria my country.

A governor leaves his state for weeks and travel to another country trying to form Mr powerful, whereas it's the people that will decide.

Wike visited Tinubu... Atiku and PitObi visited Wike

Tinubu arrived UK first before the busybody started lobbying
