Wike Behaving as if Nigeria Has Two Presidents, Observes Dele Momodu
Renowned publisher and former presidential aspirant, Dele Momodu, has expressed concern over the increasing influence of Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Momodu made this statement on Wednesday’s edition of Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, where he reacted to recent political developments involving Wike and President Tinubu.
According to Momodu, Wike’s audacity and boldness in making decisions and taking actions have led him to believe that Nigeria is currently being governed by two presidents.
“In fact, right now, it’s looking like we have two presidents in Nigeria. Wike can do anything,” he stated.
Momodu argued that even President Tinubu, who has held significant sway over Lagos State since 1999, has not demonstrated the same level of audacity as Wike.
Momodu’s comments come amidst growing speculation about Wike’s role in the Tinubu administration.
The former Rivers State governor has been instrumental in shaping key policies and decisions, leading some to question whether he is wielding too much influence over the president.
While Wike’s supporters argue that his experience and expertise are valuable assets to the administration, critics like Momodu believe that his growing power may be undermining the authority of President Tinubu.
The publisher’s remarks have sparked a heated debate about the dynamics of power in the Tinubu administration and the potential implications of Wike’s influence on the country’s governance.
Some have expressed concerns that Wike’s dominance may lead to a power struggle within the administration, while others see his involvement as a positive development that can help drive progress and stability in the country.
As the debate continues to unfold, Nigerians are watching with keen interest to see how the relationship between President Tinubu and Minister Wike will evolve and impact the country’s governance.
Will Wike’s influence continue to grow, or will President Tinubu assert his authority and establish a clearer chain of command? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain the dynamics of power in Nigeria’s presidency have never been more intriguing.
Momodu’s statements have generated a flurry of reactions from Nigerians, with some expressing support for his views and others dismissing them as unfounded and misinformed.
On social media, the hashtag #TwoPresidentsInNigeria is trending, with many users sharing their thoughts and opinions on the matter.
Some have praised Momodu for speaking truth to power and highlighting the potential risks of Wike’s growing influence.
“Dele Momodu is right; Wike’s audacity is unprecedented. We need to be careful not to create a power vacuum that can destabilize the country,” tweeted a concerned citizen.
