According to the report from the Sun, a Former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido discussed the political dynamics surrounding Nyesom Wike, suggesting that his current position in the political landscape is tied to his usefulness to the ruling party, the APC.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
Lamido argued that, similar to former Governor Ortom, Wike’s influence and resources stem from his governorship, enabling him to attend high-profile meetings and maintain visibility.
He pointed out that once out of office, politicians like Ortom, Ikpeazu, and Ugwuanyi lose their leverage and fade into the background.
In the case of Wike, Lamido views him as a political tool for the APC within the PDP and predicts that his relevance will diminish once his role as governor concludes.
According to Sule Lamido, “You see that is why they are keeping him (Wike). What I am saying is that if they sack him, he is going to be like Ortom. Look at Ortom, they were having meetings in Barcelona, in Madrid, in Paris, all over because they were availing themselves of the resources of the office they were holding. Can they meet abroad now? They cannot meet abroad now because the office that Ortom was occupying has been removed and Ortom has become an ordinary person like Sule Lamido, a former governor like me.
He cannot talk anymore because where is that leverage? The same thing with the other two governors from Abia, Ikpeazu and Enugu, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi. Makinde is there because he is a governor. Wike is very, very lucky as a machinery being used by APC in the PDP. They appointed him a Minister of Abuja and he is their resources and that is why he is still visible and relevant. Wike as a person doesn’t exist to me, very soon, he is going to be a political history!”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
