2023: “Wike lule” – Arise TV owner mocks Rivers governor [VIDEO]

Media entrepreneur, Nduka Obaigbena, has mocked the Rivers State governor, who is also a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant in respect of the 2023 election, Nyesom Wike, saying he has fallen.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Obaigbena, Chairman of ThisDay Newspaper and Arise TV, buried his mother, Margaret Obaigbena, in Owa-Onyibu, Delta state, at the weekend.

In attendance were the crème de la crème of the Nigerian society, including Tony Elumelu, Kayode Fayemi, Charles Soludo, Godwin Obaseki, Ifeanyi Okowa and Aminu Tambuwal, governors of Ekiti, Anambra, Edo, Delta and Sokoto states respectively.

While hailing Tambuwal, whom he described as the country’s “future president”, Obaigbena said “Wike lule”.

“Lule” is a word in Yoruba which means “fallen or failed”. Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), gave resonance to the word in an outburst — when he said it was his turn to be president (Emi lo kan).

“Chairman of PDP governors forum, Tambuwal! Presidential candidate, Tambuwal! Wike ‘lule’, Tambuwal! Wike ‘lule’, Tambuwal! Wike ‘lule’, Tambuwal! Future president, Tambuwal!,” Obaigbena joked.

In the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP’s) presidential primary election held in May, Tambuwal, Wike and Atiku Abubakar were among the contestants. But the Sokoto State governor stepped down for Atiku, with Wike subsequently emerging second to Atiku.

Wike is currently in feuding with Atiku; Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP National Chairman, and some stakeholders in the main opposition over their decision on some party activities.

  1. THE Wike GUY HAS OVERPLAYED HIS HANDS IN THE SHORTCHANGE THAT SUDDENLY TURNED HIM INTO A BRIGAND AND A SELF-MADE OUTCAST IN HIS PARTY THE PDP.

    He has taken the cheating and ill treatment meted him to ludicrous ridiculous level by making himself the focus of scorn political discuss.

    Governor Wike’s BULLING tactics no longer working, and people are beginning to view him as more of a problem than a coopering solution.

    Wike has lost it and the impending IMPLOSION of the PDP fast approaching than anticipated. IT IS RIGHT HERE.
