Wike has proven time and again that his word holds no weight, maintaining that the recent reconciliation between Fubara and Wike should not be mistaken for lasting peace
Human rights lawyer and activist, Barrister Deji Adeyanju, has advised the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, to prepare his mind for the fact that the reconciliation between him and his political godfather, Nyesom Wike, is a trap, not a truce.
Adeyanju, who offered this advice on Friday in Abuja, noted that: “With Wike, the storm always returns because he will deliberately betray the agreement with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and blame it on Fubara.”
According to the lawyer, Wike has proven time and again that his word holds no weight, maintaining that the recent reconciliation between Fubara and Wike should not be mistaken for lasting peace. He added that Wike has a well-documented history of reneging on promises and betraying political allies.
He said, “From his vow at the PDP convention to abide by the outcome, which he swiftly disregarded, to his betrayal of Dr. Peter Odili, a man he once called his political father and his calculated political attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Wike’s pattern is clear; he honours only his ambition. Even when he makes a vow, it is as useless as the ‘T’ in buffet; loud in delivery but empty in substance.
“Governor Fubara must prepare his mind that this reconciliation is a trap, and not a truce. Wike will not only undermine him now but also breach the agreement on purpose.
“If Wike’s antecedent is anything to go by, he will betray President Tinubu at the right time. The same man who couldn’t keep faith with his benefactors will not keep faith with a successor he now sees as a rival or his new master.
“History has shown that Wike sees loyalty as a tool, not a virtue. Fubara should understand that with Wike, the storm always returns.”
