Prominent journalist and former presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, has sparked reactions across social media by sharing old photographs of Nyesom Wike displaying allegiance to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi......KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE👈
The post, shared on Sunday, has stirred conversations about Wike’s political alliances and shifts over the years.
Wike, now serving as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), was once aligned with Amaechi, who appointed him as Chief of Staff.
Wike also served as Minister under Jonathan before becoming Rivers State governor. However, Wike has since fallen out with Amaechi with ongoing reports suggesting disagreements with Jonathan and a deep rift with Amaechi.
Currently, Wike is locked in a fierce political battle with Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, over control of the state’s political structure. As tensions mount, key figures, including Jonathan, have urged restraint. Wike, however, has fiercely responded to critics, refusing to back down.
In his post, Momodu, who has often criticized Wike’s political tactics, shared the photos with the caption: “TIME is everything…..” — a message interpreted by many as a subtle commentary on Wike’s changing alliances.
Social media users were quick to react.
One Facebook user, Dayo Gabriel, commented:
“And he looked so good before he started to fight everyone.”
Another user, Jumbo Innocent, added:
“Very soon, the chicken will come home to roast.”
Wills Tlr humorously wrote:
“When 40-year-old whiskey was just 20 years old.”
Kingsley Ezemechi also weighed in, saying:
“I have my problems with President Jonathan, but the way Wike addressed our former President as one leader is very unfortunate. It’s a question of time. You truly never know people until they get power and money.”
Olufemi Johnson remarked:
“Wike bit Odili’s fingers, bit Amaechi’s hands, and has snapped on GEJ’s fingers too. Soon he will bite Asiwaju’s hands, and my Yoruba people will begin to cry. They can’t just see the precedent.”
Meanwhile, some Facebook users criticized Momodu for what they perceived as a targeted attack on Wike.
One user remarked:
“Indeed, time is everything. I remember how you were milking the same Wike. You derive pleasure in criticizing today.”
“Why didn’t you post when Fubara was in level 14 before Wike made him governor, Dele Momodu?”
The reactions reflect the complex and evolving political dynamics around Wike, whose relationships with key political figures continue to attract public scrutiny.
