    1. A major flaw with Wike is that he talks before he thinks. He should have learnt some lessons by now and ready to move forward with caution.

  1. Wike should quickly align with Obi. That is only the option left now. But if this could not happen, I tell you the truth, people from South South which include Rivers, Cross River, Delta, Bayelsa, Edo and AKwaibom, know the level of marginalisation against Igbos. They are enlightened people who knows that After 8 years, another set of Muslims are trying to take over from Buhari. They will certainly support Obi.
