Wike: his popularity cuts across the 6 SS states.he dominates SS politics,is loved and adored by the SS people.he controls pdp faction in cross river,sponsored ypp candidate senator oba who was in pdp,sponsored a faction of the pdp in Edo led by Dan orbih.his influence also extends to anambra apc and some northern states. Oshiomhole: as an opposition candidate, he defeated pdp in edo.he was the second person to sack a pdp governor in the south and third overall.he is fanatically loved in the Edo north zone of Edo and large parts of edo.him and akpabio are the only ones able to deliver their districts to tinubu.oshiomhole also delivered his district to apc in 2015 and 2019.he crushed the obidient movement or tsunami in the north of Edo and humiliated shuaibu in his polling unit. Akpabio: he delivered his zone to tinubu and overran obi in akwa ibom.he also helped to get 25% for buhari in 2029.he is madly loved in his ikot ekpene district and by virtue of being SP,he is the leader of apc in SS. Governor Prince Otu: if not for the calabar metropolis,he would have won the southern zone for tinubu and perhaps the entire state.he is very popular. David Lyon: he is popular in bayelsa but has failed to exert his influence since his ouster Hy the apex court.in the last two election,apc lost scandalously so his popularity is suspect.

garfield1:One thing I found out about you is that you like to lie to yourself a lot. This was how you were asg funny figures to Atiku and Tinubu in the Southeast and Southsouth before the elections; I told you it won’t happen but you argued you a are a professor of ‘real politick’. What later happened? Tinubu and Atiku both struggled to get up to 5% of votes cast in the entire southeast. Southsouth wasn’t any different either but for INEC’s rigging. Now you are back with another round of self deception. I can take what you said about other people because they appear realistic but how did you arrive at your conclusion about Wike? Let me tell you the reality on ground, like I told you before the elections, Wike is the most hated politician in Rivers State in particular, and the entire Southsouth in general, as of today. If he contests in a free and fair House of Assembly election today, he would fail even if his opponent is a stone. What you are mistaking for popularity is just his network of criminal structure within the PDP across some Southsouth states. But for the fact that these guys are associating with him alone, they have lost popularity just like Wike. Things were even better for Wike before the election. But after doing what he did during the election, he buried himself by himself. That’s why he’s struggling to get a post in Tinubu’s govt so he can stay relevant. As you didn’t before the election, I don’t expect you to believe what I’ve said here, not like I care, I just wanted to state the facts as they are; like I always do. 117 Likes 15 Shares |

Emmanuel Udom is far more popular and influential in Akwa Ibom compared to Godwin Akpabio. Furthermore Ex-Governor Ifeanyi Okowa gave Ibori the very first defeat of his political career.The APC candidate despite all the noise could not even make any headway in the Governorship elections. 44 Likes 8 Shares |

Penguin2: Go sleep joor. You need a brain rest. Somebody that delivered the entire Rivers State to his PDP from governor to senators to reps to assembly and delivered the state for Tinubu is not popular? With all the obidiotssssss noises in Rivers State,the LP couldn't win a single seat anywhere in Rivers State. Your tears and pains of defeat won't change facts. 41 Likes 4 Shares |

The most popular politician from the South South remains Goodluck Jonathan. You cannot claim to be popular if you haven't been elected into a public office with votes outside your state of origin. All those politicians listed up there fall into the same category. 21 Likes |

Wike is not popular in the SS my region. Only thing that is popular is his ; 1. His greediness 2. His selfishness 3. His foolishness. 4. His Touting 27 Likes 4 Shares |

Penguin2:he is far more than what the op described him as. There is no single governor that can do what he did in the last general elections in rivers. It takes guts, political sagacity, ruggedity, connections and a very deep pocket to do what wike did in rivers during the last elections. In of Influence, maybe very soon in the future his dynasty will crash like a pack of cards mostly if he is sidelined by the tinubu govt but for now....... Baba just comot hand for that manchi matter. 31 Likes 3 Shares |

garfield1:Does this your SS include Edo? Can Wike get 5 unmobilized ers if he goes to Benin today? Can Wike walk in the streets of Yenegoa without being pelted with pebbles? Can Wike walk the streets of Asaba in Delta? Or even Warri? Except he goes with Akpabio, can Wike draw out 50 people on his accord if he’s in Uyo? How many people rate him in Calabar? Even in his own Port Harcourt, nobody rates Wike. So, where in Southsouth is Wike popular? I want facts, figures, numbers and pictures if possible, and not conjectures. 44 Likes 8 Shares |

Akpabio is it....... Apart from his abrasive type of politics, you rarely will meet an Akwa Ibomite that don't like Akpabio. Who know Wike? Others no level, asides Oshio. 19 Likes 3 Shares |

Penguin2: Lol.....why u dey mumu ursef like dis? I already told you to go rest your brain before you run mad. You've been restless and all over the place in the past days. Tinubu won his polling unit clearly. By the way, it's foolishness to say buhari lost aso rock polling unit. Is aso rock polling unit buhari's polling unit? Does buhari vote in aso rock? Suddenly you don't know buhari's polling unit in daura anymore? Stop to dey mumu na. Below is tinubu's polling unit results APC....33 LP.....8 PDP....1 Ypp.....1 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/02/tinubu-wins-polling-unit-with-33-votes-as-obi-atiku-trail/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwjKjtSW26mAAxXUnFwKHSmcCxwQFnoECB0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw3UOlaUqMC9RUtj-3920RX7 17 Likes 1 Share |
