Rivers Crisis: 'Learn from Tinubu' — Reno Omokri reveals one thing Wike must do to get Fubara sacked

Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide to Goodluck Jonathan has advised Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), to learn from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu amid the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State.

The crisis stems from a political feud involving Governor Fubara, former Governor Wike and other loyalists of the former governor.

In a recent social media post, Omokri described Wike as a brilliant political strategist.

However, the social activist advised the PDP chieftain to learn from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in dealing with godson Simi Fubara.

He added that patience is a weapon Wike needs to add to his arsenal.

In a post on X, Omokri said:

"Nyesom Wike is a brilliant political strategist. But perhaps he also needs to learn from Bola Tinubu. Bola Tinubu could have impeached Ambode. He was more in control of Lagos than Wike is in charge of Rivers. He had total control of the Lagos State House of Assembly and the loyalties of most LG and LCDA Chairmen. But he bided his time. Patience bring a virtue, not a virus.

"He allowed Ambode finish his first term and then denied him a second term. That way, he got what he wanted without rocking the boat. That subtlety and patience is what Wike needs to add to his arsenal. In politics, with tact, you will get your fact.

"Sun Tzu said, 'Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.' This is something that may have benefited Wike. Pick and choose the place and time of your battle. A Governor is weakest during the transition from one term to the other. Making it the perfect time to strike."
