Former lawmaker and social critic, Shehu Sani, says recent public move by governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State to warm up to Peter Obi, Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate in the February 25 election, is insincere and deceptive.
He said Wike’s action is tantamount to that of a man who jilted his lady and married another woman.
Senator Sani said one could not be trying to be nice to continue a relationship with a lady he jilted.
His statement is contained in a post via his verified Twitter handle on Saturday.
Sani was alluding to how Wike supported Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, during the presidential election and is now showering encomium on Obi ahead of the gubernatorial 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.
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; its like trying to be nice in order to continue a relationship with a lady you jilted, after marrying another.”
