Orduen disclosed that Wike’s alleged tactics of manipulating the electoral process and undermining opposition parties are now failing.
Orduen suggests that Wike, who was once a dominant figure in Rivers politics, has seen his political influence crumble, particularly after his defeat in the recent LG elections.
Orduen said.
“Wike’s strategy of securing court injunctions at the last minute to derail opponents is a tactic that no longer works.
“The people of Rivers have spoken — they want real democracy, not manipulation.”
According to Orduen, Wike’s future as a political contractor for President Bola Tinubu, who aims to weaken the opposition, is now uncertain.
Orduen noted:
“The man who once believed he could control Rivers politics through manipulation is now facing the consequences of his hubris.
“His role as a political contractor for Tinubu — to destroy the opposition party — is now in jeopardy.”
