Why Wike should be pitied – Laolu Akande

A presidential aide, Laolu Akande, has said that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, is to be pitied at this point in time.

According to him, the former Rivers State Governor has surrounded himself with several political battles and enemies.

Speaking on his Youtube Channel, Akande, who was the special adviser to former vice president, Prof Yemi Osibanjo, said, should Wike be removed as minister, his political career would face a declining trend.

Speaking on the subject, ‘Why Wike is troubled,’ he said “The moment you hear Wike, the immediate past, governor of Rivers, say in his ongoing political tours in the state say that he doesn’t want to hear in the state anything about PDP or APC anymore, but only Renewed Hope Family, know that the man has started to realize his own limitations, after all.

“Now, Rivers State governor, Sim Fubara had given us a hint of the unending palaver between Wike and himself with that song, ‘If you follow Tinubu don’t do corner corner. Fubara dey tell you something’.

“So, we must pity Wike. His own choice of successor is undoubtedly giving him a fight of his political life. We hope Nigerian political gladiators are learning a lesson or two from Wike’s dilemma.

“Democracy is not dictatorship. So when you fail to carry the people along, sooner or later, you’ll discover the foolishness of such action somewhere down the road.
