Wike
versus Rotimi: Speaking Truth to Power on Rivers’ Re-run Elections
The muse to write this maiden piece on this nascent
platform is premised on the need for apposite grilling and figuring of
Nigeria’s political space vis-à-vis its configuration, discourses, sharing,
intrigues, nuances, conflicts, alliances, etc – thereby exposing both its
constructive and muted affects - in order to achieve political trajectories for
current and future political leaders in Nigeria and Africa at large. This muse
was further accentuated by the on-going political rivalries and electoral wars
between two political gladiators: the incumbent governor (Wike) of Rivers state
and ex-governor (Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi) - currently serving as federal
minister in Nigeria. These two gladiators no doubt were on the same political divide
before the 2015 general election, however, they became arch-enemies when Rotimi
decamped to the All Progressive Congress (APC). For full texts, click here
