Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike’s recent political volte-face denying ever promising to publicly announce his preferred presidential candidate was a clear evidence of confusion in his collapsing world of fantasy,Recent events have shown that the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Nyesom Wike, may have lost ideas on how to handle his disagreement with his party, the Peoples Democratic Party , and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Analysts now wonder how Wike who could not make himself the PDP presidential candidate, could make anyone the President of Nigeria. Wike’s apparent confusion came to a peak last Wednesday when he denied ever promising to publicly announce his choice of candidate. He declared that he never told the public the method by which he would disclose his choice.
“I am not someone who will go and see somebody and hide. Hide for who? Who is that person that will threaten me? They said Wike had a deal with so, so, and so person. Meanwhile, no video, no anything! And some of you waste time listening to such things. Don’t you know when I want to do something, I do it? You don’t need to speculate,” he reportedly said.
In a fit of rage, he cancelled the approval given to Atiku for the use of the Adokye Amiesimaka Stadium for his campaign on February 11.
