A former lawmaker and social critic, Shehu Sani, has described the relationship between Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and Peter Obi as that of a man who jilted his lady and married another woman.
According to Senator Sani, it was impossible to maintain a relationship with a woman who had been dumped while also trying to be kind.
On Saturday, he posted a message on Twitter using his verified account that included his remarks.
Sani was making reference to Wike’s backing of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, during the presidential election and his current flattery of Obi in advance of the governorship and State House of Assembly elections.
Recall that some Nigerians and supporters of the Labour Party, LP, felt governor Wike worked against the interest of Obi in favour of Tinubu during the presidential election, an action Wike has denied.
However, the Rivers Governor on Saturday said Obi was his hero of the presidential election, claiming Obi ensured a president-elect of the Southern extraction emerged.
He made the statement while addressing Igbo traders at a town hall seeking their support for the March 18 gubernatorial election in the State.
Meanwhile, Sani believed Wike was trying to be nice in recent times to Obi and his supporters when he had supported and shifted camp to Tinubu during the presidential election.
He wrote, “Wike and Peter; it’s like trying to be nice in order to continue a relationship with a lady you jilted, after marrying another.”
