On Nyesom Wike , The Man of the Moment

I have read widely, travelled far, and reported from many corners of the world. Yet, I have rarely come across a man as loud, self-absorbed, and tragically unreflective as Wike. He carries on as though power is eternal, as if position confers immortality. But history is full of men like him—intoxicated by power, deafened by their own voices, and ultimately humbled by time.

Where is Hophni? Where is Abacha? Where are the once all-powerful ministers, Governors, and godfathers who believed the sun would never set on their influence? Many of them now live in obscurity, nursing regrets, abandoned by the very crowd that once cheered them on.

Power is like the wind—it comes, it goes. And life itself is a vapor. Wike will learn this. The lesson is inevitable.

...Senator Ojudu Babafemi , a veteran journalist, served as Special Adviser in the Presidency.

Wike's SSA REPLIES:
On Egbon Femi Ojudu, We Understand His Pain and Frustration

I read a certain comment on the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, credited to Egbon Gani Babafemi Ojudu, in which he referred to the FCT Minister as someone who "carries on as though power is eternal, as if position confers immortality."

Egbon Femi Ojudu is pained, no doubt, but shouldn't he limit his frustration to his "I too know" mindset that made him calculated wrongly on the 2023 presidential election?

By the way, is he now in the farm, cultivating cocoyam and ewedu vegetable as he promised in 2022?

Funny that someone like Femi Ojudu, who led a Political Coup in Ekiti is now the one sermonising about power not being eternal. Didn't he know that power was not eternal when he was leading the coup that plunged Ekiti State into a state of emergency?

At what point did Egbon Ojudu, a political coupist become an advocate of politics of fairness? When he lost his chance to remain in power after his preferred Presidential candidate lost the APC primary election?

Unlike Buoda Gani Efon Ojudu, Wike has proven to be a better and more successful politician. Wike is not like Egbon Femi Ojudu, whose only major political achievement is deceiving President Obasanjo to remove illegally, a democratically elected Governor of Ekiti State.

Anyway, I am still waiting for him to confirm or deny that he actually authored the comment though. Until then, let our gunpowder be kept dry.

When that time comes, Lere will start deleting tweets, he will start apologising to people he insulted while trying to serve his lord and personal savior, Wike. We shall all be here to witness the next 7years.

The degradation of Nigeria over the past years contains a common thread. The 'synagogue of Satan' is behind all weaponized poverty , financial/economic terrorism,ignorance and hate and demoralisation of this country and it's people. The actors in politics, media, armed forces, private sector and religious establishment are all occultists, Satanists, luciferians. Nigeria alone has over 400 secret societies operating here. Who are their , what is their mission and vision. You never ask yourselves the relevant questions, you never see thru the cloaks and mirrors. A country of the blind. There was a country. Let Satan rule you to your ruin.

There’s an adage from Yoruba land.

“Ti aba ran eni ni ise eru, oye ki o fi ti omo je”

If you’re sent an errand as a slave, you should deliver that errand like a free born”

Many of these Media aides nowadays feel they have to be insulting to the messages of their masters. Yet, these are people that tag themselves “Omoluabi”.

You have a problem if you are fighting your fellow human because of politicians in Nigeria. These people only protect their interest and use the people as a shield for their political fight.

Sycophantic reply....however wike is a coward who clings to power for survival, he's only saving grace is Atiku because if Atiku had nominated him for vice president he won't be this biter to work for BAT,rather he would have worked for PDP to win ,and now would have been out of power,so for me ,he didn't make any intelligent political calculation, he knew Peter obi will forgive if he wins ,so BAT was his best bet ,because tinubu doesn't forgive people who oppose him and APC control the presidency, so he's just a political jobber

Ever since Femi Ojudu's principal, yemi osinbajo lost presidential primary, Femi had lost his senses.

Even laolu Akande started like that but it's like he's overcome it bcoz he's busy now with his channels TV program.

It's the like of Ojudu that misled osinbajo and ever since anything Tinubu must be criticized.
