“I don’t know who he thinks he’s bragging to. You have mentioned it with your individual mouth, and more often than not, I’m undecided he thinks of the issues he says.
“You preserve calling for a greater Nigeria, to see a greater candidate, however since you had a grouse with the person who introduced the candidate, you have been extra involved about destroying that candidate and never letting him thrive, so {that a} worse-off candidate can be there. And you retain speaking about a greater Nigeria?
“So you’ll be able to see him for your self. You noticed a top quality candidate (Asie Ighadalo) that may profit folks in this nation, however you subjugated that candidate due to the previous governor (Godwin Obaseki). You can see that the joke is on him and never on all of us.
“I preserve saying it: Wike doesn’t say what he can’t do. Wike is only a reflection of how bastardised our election system has turn into.
“I imply, take a look at what occurred in Rivers. Look at what was reported on IReV and what INEC reported. And that’s why I used to be telling Olisa Agbakoba that it’s on account of the criminality factor that INEC is saying that they’re the one ones to declare outcomes, due to the felony issues that occur in our election course of, in order that they protect the sanctity of criminality.
“And when political events say they’ve construction, it’s the construction of criminality they’ve. They can’t win elections free and honest.

“I preserve seeing him beating his chest relating to what he did in the FCT. No, he shouldn’t do it. He ought to wait and depart folks to return and do it. As FCT minister, he ought to preserve speaking as whether it is his cash from his pocket that he’s taken to them.
“So, for you Nigerians who preserve supporting evil as a result of the place you wish to chop is your individual precedence, you retain cowering to those folks and all the things.
“You see, you’ll serve their youngsters. In truth, you might be already serving their youngsters. Are lots of people not serving Wike’s youngsters in the present day? You will carry the luggage of their youngsters, their youngsters’s youngsters; you’ll carry their baggage. Except you realise, like M.Ok.O. Abiola mentioned, that the day water drawers and wooden hewers know their future, that’s the day they begin to stroll in the direction of the tip.
“Except Nigerians realise that you’ll serve folks like this. It’s not a curse, and you’ll serve them in the subsequent election as a result of they’ll do it and it’ll favour them. They are already telling you brazenly.
“Wike, I keep saying, Wike is not saying something he cannot do. He says something he has done already. So let’s keep deceiving ourselves.”
