Fubara: Wike Needs To Learn From Tinubu –Reno Omokri

By Daniel Dafe

Former Presidential Aide, Reno Omokri has said the political crisis presently brewing in Rivers State as a result of a clash of interest between the governor, Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike was avoidable.

Recall that on Wednesday, the State House of Assembly complex was demolished with four lawmakers loyal to Governor relocating sitting to the governenmt house.

According to Omokri in a post on X, “Nyesom Wike is a brilliant political strategist, but perhaps he also needs to learn from Bola Tinubu.”

He said: “Bola Tinubu could have impeached Ambode. He was more in control of Lagos than Wike is in charge of Rivers. He had total control of the Lagos State House of Assembly and the loyalties of most LG and LCDA Chairmen. But he bided his time.”

Continuing, he said Tinubu allowed Ambode finish his first term and then denied him a second term, adding: “That way, he got what he wanted without rocking the boat. That subtlety and patience is what Wike needs to add to his arsenal. In politics, with tact, you will get your fact.”

According to him, Sun Tzu statement that “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win” would have benefitted Wike if he had taken this to heart.

“Pick and choose the place and time of your battle. A Governor is weakest during the transition from one term to the other. Making it the perfect time to strike,” he averred.
