Following his appointment as the chairman, PDP National campaign counsel for the Edo state gubernatorial elections, the governor of River State Mr. Nyesom Wike has been called upon to lead the front line of an event that has the nation consciousness.


The governor who delightedly welcome the embattled governor of Edo state, Mr. Godwin obaseki, is ready to lead his party against APC principal and principalities of power ahead of the heating Edo elections.


The ebullient, bold, sharp tongued southern starman will be looking forward to show case his political capacity in dimension above comprehension.


With the resolvement of the latent disputes within the folds of the national working committee (NWC), the political Derby is set as plans, tactics and propaganda are setting in, both by a party set to utilize the power of incumbency, and one ready to counter a major political setback.


Similarly, his APC counterpart Mr. Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano state has promised to isolate Wike by any means necessary, a threat which could directly project the involvement of APC national general's in an event widely expected to be chaotic.


Wike in reaction to the statement said
“Let me tell you why they (APC) made Ganduje the chairman of the campaign council; it is because of the dollars they saw. But for dollars, Ganduje could not have been made the chairman of the campaign council.



“But what he doesn’t understand is that we are from the Niger Delta; we shall chop his dollar and we will chop him to a coma. So, Ganduje, your dollar will not work in Edo State, we have integrity in our party.”


Thou he spoke at his personal capacity, Wike reaction could sum up PDP election tactics as it's


Firstly, indicate that more than a war, the governor is facing a personal battle, one which could widen his future political prospect.


Secondly, exposed and mocked the formula adopted by his counterpart on the use of Kano dollars to lure the mass.


Thirdly, assured the good people of Edo state that PDP means business, stressing the role of integrity on his party game plan.


However, it should be noted that when APC won Edo back in 2016, the exercise was marred by federal involvement where "Obaseki" won after his endorsement by Oshiomhole. As it stands, things drastically fell apart for the governor whose first tenure achievement has little to speak for a man who was politically influenced by the suspended national chairman.

In reality, the appointment of pastor ize iyamu as the APC anointed candidate, despite his fierce opposition to the appointment of president Muhammad buhari in 2015 defines the complicated nature of APC general plan. Despite his previous alliance with Wike compatriots, a chance of redemption has manifested to the man of God who clearly understands the depth and implication of any uncoordinated move in the trivial moment.
Despite his pending N700m money laundry case, the pastor will seek to capitalize APC helping hand, in a bid to escape the forces that lays ahead.

Recently, a scandalous video had resurfaced showing Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje pocketing vast wads of American dollars in what was said to be bribe payments from public works contractors. This by all odds points to the dictum that the northern hero, is a verified fraud.
With his second tenure neatly secured, the political actor will be keen on applying the dollar formula on the Edo state electoral equation.


With obaseki certification nightmares resolved, Wike optimism has sparked the self believe in the governor, who was still nursing the trauma of betrayal by a man that kickstart his political career.

As it stands, Wike is fully aware of the mind game deployed by APC, evident in the party surge in issues, holding promise of destruction in a rather devious manner. However, with Wike desperateness, September 19 battle for supremacy will decide the fate of Nigeria most influential polity.

We dey here, we shall see!

We know the best riggers will win this coming election. I don’t rate any politicians
