Ewoh highlighted the deteriorating relationship between Wike and former President Goodluck Jonathan, despite Wike’s earlier support during Jonathan’s governorship campaign in 2015. He pointed out that Wike currently has no cordial interactions with Jonathan, emphasizing that they do not greet each other, which reflects the unpredictable nature of Wike’s political affiliations.
According to Ewoh, if Wike sees a political advantage in aligning with either Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar—especially if they manage to defeat Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 elections—he would not hesitate to switch his support. He stated, “We have warned Tinubu to look into Jonathan’s current relationship with Wike. There is no relationship; Wike doesn’t even acknowledge Jonathan or his wife. If everyone suddenly supports Atiku or Obi as the next President, Wike will switch sides.”
Ewoh characterized Wike as a politician whose primary loyalty lies with his own interests rather than any individual or political party. He conveyed that Wike perceives Tinubu merely as a tool for maintaining his power, remarking, “Tinubu is not significant to him; he only matters to Wike as long as he holds a position of influence. Wike has no true friends or loyalty to anyone.”
Ewoh’s remarks underline a belief that Wike’s political actions are motivated by self-interest and opportunism. He cautioned Tinubu to be vigilant regarding Wike’s motivations, warning that Wike’s political stance could change dramatically based on the shifting political landscape.
This commentary raises essential questions about political loyalty and the dynamics of alliances within Nigeria’s complex political arena. With the political climate in flux, figures like Wike are viewed as potentially unpredictable, capable of altering their allegiances in pursuit of personal gain. Ewoh’s warnings suggest that Tinubu should take into account Wike’s past actions and existing relationships as he navigates the political terrain leading up to the 2027 elections.
Ewoh’s statements also reflect a broader concern within the PDP regarding the dependability of political allies. The prospect of Wike switching allegiance illustrates the fluidity of Nigerian politics, where alliances can rapidly shift based on individual ambitions and perceived opportunities.
In conclusion, Ewoh’s comments serve as a cautionary note for Tinubu and others in positions of power, underscoring the importance of comprehending the motivations of those around them. As the political environment continues to evolve, fostering trust and loyalty among allies will be crucial for effective governance and the stability of political coalitions.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
