He would not shift, the governor has shifted severally; the way out is for the governor to confront him frontally. Wike does not like to be challenged and once you challenge him, he becomes jittery and starts talking anyhow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe governor should challenge him headlong, the law is settled that when people defect; they lose their seat as stated by the Supreme Court. They went and got a lower court to make another ruling on the same subject matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFubara should just man up and challenge the guy, he\u2019s not a god; this god complex that he has that his words are supreme. The same treatment that Wike has given to those who supported him, he would give to Tinubu; Tinubu will not be an exception.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAssuming that I went to beg Wike as he said in his interview, that means he\u2019s the oracle that makes people in PDP. So why couldn\u2019t he make himself a PDP presidential candidate since he\u2019s the oracle of the party that determines who gets what and how in PDP? \u201c<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
