Looking at Wike's preparation for 2027, you would think he's the contesting for president. He's putting in the shift!!
@NtigorokuAtarhe
After election, what happens to the radio station? There's no other lucrative business in Nigeria other than being a political tout, houseman/Boy, just to get daily . At your age, you can't boost of being an employer of labour but just mere boy boy life.
@OlanusiAkin
Wike is frustrated. He is trying hard to prove a point that Fubara is irrelevant in Rivers state politics but he has failed already. Let the campaign start and you will see how Fubara will mobilise the real sons and daughters of Rivers state for 2027 elections.
@OkohPaul18
Why not campaign with you achievements. Remember you said if after 4 years we don’t have constant electricity we should not vote again for you.
