For as long as Wike keeps mum on his political path to the 2023 general elections, he will remain germane in political discourse.

It all started when the governor lost his bid to become the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party . After a hotly contested primary election, ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar emerged winner and candidate of the PDP.

Although Governor Wike has succeeded in playing the hide-and-seek game, and in turning himself into a beautiful bride, he should remember that flowers don’t bloom forever, and sooner than later, he has to come clean. His political journey ahead is a long haul; and politics is a marathon, and not a sprint. The way he plays his game today has a bearing on his future, which at only age 54 is pregnant with only God knows what.

In the interim, and in the last three months, Wike has not officially declared his support for Atiku, despite his avowal to support whoever emerged. To be clear, Atiku did not play his card well. What is the meaning of jetting out to the United Arab Emirates shortly after the 28 May primary, when the house was still in disarray and he had not reconciled with all those who contested along with him and lost.

Meanwhile at the last count, Wike has met all the APC bigwigs, including their presidential candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, some PDP bigwigs, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, and all the who is who in the political firmament in different parts of the world and within the country. But as a former ally of APC stalwart and former minister of Transport and governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, whom he fought to a standstill, and now proving more adept at politricks than his mentors , Wike has a lot to worry about most of the candidates of PDP in his state too. Pragmatic and redoubtable, Wike has the capacity to intimidate, and those who know him say he is a friend to have and keep, but he can as well intimidate.

Leave Wike alone and make sure you win your state for PDP... Whatever you think he is, shouldn't be your headache
