According to a news that was published by Arise Television News, it was reported that Governor Nyesom Wike’s decision to increase his number of Special Assistants from 100,000 to 200,000, might be political.
THISDAY NEWSPAPER reported that, there are suspicions that Governor Nyesom Wike, appeared to have made a deal with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who happens to be the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, but there are indications that it would be difficult for him (Wike) to pull off the deal in Rivers State because of the popularity of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Mr Peter Obi in the state.
It was also reported that the Rivers governor, has lost most of his foot soldiers in the persons of Kenneth Minimah, Austin Opara, Lee Maeba, Celestine Omehia, the Sekibos and several others to Atiku, so, it will be difficult for him to defeat Atiku in the state in the 2023 presidential election.
