For some reason the city of Port Harcourt, Rivers State has become the political hotbed ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
And Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike, is the beautiful bride whose ass should be kissed by any serious presidential candidates, that is those who have a realistic chance of winning the election scheduled for February.

Wike is the foxy lady that must be chased in different ways and in different cities. From Port Harcourt to Lagos, to Abuja and then to London, he has been on a roller coaster ride, after injecting himself into the bloodstream of the politicking and the gerrymandering, as Nigerians prepare to make their choice of president in the few months ahead.
Since losing the People’s Democratic Party presidential ticket to Abubakar Atiku and then, the ‘ Turaki Customs and Intel’ picking Ifeanyi Okowa as running mate, Wike is now the Nickelodeon everybody must watch, except of course PDP chairman, Iyorchia Ayu who had no appetite it seems, for infantile fantasies. Ayu sure tingled Wike’s nerves and the ‘Emperor’ unleashed his garrulous might, strafing the air waves, hard and software media with reckless abandon.

Wike is the new king maker in town, Rotimi Ameachi must be grinding his teeth wondering what kind of Frankenstein he has created. For Wike each and every day comes with a drama, the praise worshiping, speaking in tongues and followed by the long toxic speeches about Ayu not knowing the infants who put him in his position, Rivers State not for sale and nobody can break my ranks… the verbose goes on and on like the ocean waves caressing the beach in Bonny Island. He has held Nigerians in the political news dissemination and consumption business spellbound. Everyone is eager to know where he would pitch his tent.
Meanwhile, the yanga tolotolo continues. Some Governorship aspirants under the umbrella party were the last to go and woo the Cinderella of Nigeria politics, but Wike only laughed in their faces saying he would reveal where his Stomach Infrastructure would face in the time to come.
But why can’t the political juggernauts focus on how to woo 70m eligible voters rather than to be running after one man who has only one vote? Well Wike is the man rocking the political landscape, because he been loud and made himself relevant in the national and state level, Rivers State where he sits like an Emperor is rich and his party PDP looked up to him in terms of finance and as the main voice of the opposition to the government led by the All Progressives Congress.
He was the de facto leader of the PDP, while Atiku enjoyed the warmth of Dubai and all the beautiful women the City had to present. And so when Wike failed to get the nod for the party’s ticket and also denied the VP slot, it was obvious that he was not going to take it lying low. The PDP has a real dilenma to navigate.
The APC candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu has tried to cash into the feud in the PDP, but Wike is not moved a bit by the arrogance of the former Lagos State governor who thought he has the whole nation in his pocket. For the Jagaban, Wike, is in the kindergarten of the king making business.
From the look of things Wike’s currency keeps appreciating and getting stronger, but it would have been nice if that energy is channeled into retiring the like of Tinubu and Atiku from politics so that more young and genetic politicians can step up into the fray.
Atiku would have loved to have Wike as vice president, but obvious he is isn’t a good choice because of his brash and pompous ways of playing politics. A more sober Okowa would be better to manage than a boisterous Wike. But now Atiku has a genuine crisis on his hands.
Also Tinubu has been left stranded after he choose to embrace a Muslim-Muslim ticket. His case became more pathetic after his Abuja bishops were busted. His South West base is divided, the core north he is banking on, youths have been making bonfires of brooms.
Wike can use his energy to push for a new Nigeria. Rather than be fanning around, he can try and mobilise younger Nigerians to take the bull by the horns and retire the APC and PDP, whose combine 24 years of democratic rule has left this nation on the brink of collapse.
