Na wah o! Dis politics wey dey happen for Rivers State no be small matter. Nyesom Wike, wey be Federal Capital Territory Minister, don drop bombshell during him end-of-year gbas-gbos for Port Harcourt. E talk say if e decide to jump enter All Progressives Congress (APC), na im go be the end of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Chai! Wetin concern wahala and peace?

According to Wike, “if I decide to decamp today, you go see leaders for PDP wey go follow me waka, make I no lie.” He mention states like Benue, Plateau, Abia, and Edo. E still dey claim say him no dey leave PDP, but with this kind talk, e fit be say him dey plot something wey we no sabi yet.

For recent times, some of him paddy-paddy people for Rivers House of Assembly don jump enter APC, including Governor Siminalayi Fubara. But Wike still dey flex him political muscles, dey show him supporters say no be every governor wahala fit mean say dem don become top gaffer for party. “Make una no feel say because Fubara don move, na im mean say e don get power pass me,” him talk.

Wike drop hint say Fubara’s move no mean say e get automatic ticket for second tenure. E dey point out say most governors wey dey defect no carry all their people along. He dey remind dem say real leadership na about more than just thousands of followers; na who sabi lead go matter. “A governor wey just carry him local government chairman go join another party no mean say e get power fully,” he yarn.

Meanwhile, make we shift small to Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde. E don dey crack ground too. E don show say Wike dey try keep PDP down for APC as e matter dey hot. For media chat, Makinde don expose Wike say him don promise Tinubu say e go hold PDP for am. Wike no even tell am, and na there wahala start. Makinde dey vex say wetin Wike dey do fit push Nigeria enter one-party state.

Makinde no gree make the kind thing happen. “If we dey talk say Nigeria fit fall into one-party system, wetin go happen when we need to talk about national issues?” Na wetin him dey reason. E dey shake head for Wike as him make sure say im no follow him enter APC wahala.

As Wike dey flex for Abuja, some people dey wonder if e really go fit maintain the party’s structure, especially as grassroots no dey happy with their leaders. Politics no be only for big men; na the common people dey drive the real change. Makinde dey talk say “e no care about who defect enter jubilee, na wetin dey happen for the street matter pass.”

Wike and Makinde matter don dey turn to comedy show for many paddy-paddies for the streets. Everyone dey watch to see who go blink first. Na person wey know wetin e want go win for this show, and right now, e no clear for many eyes. E be like say challenge go still continue between the two of dem.

As Wike dey challenge any talk about his political relevance, Nigerian politicians need to sit down and ask who get the mind of the people. With the prices of things for market and how many people dey suffer, e good make dem know say real power no dey for where money dey – na for where the people dey. E go better if dem no forget say na dem go vote in 2027, no matter wetin happen.
