Nigerians Demand Action: Jude Idimogu Urges President Tinubu To Reassess Relationship With Nyesom Wike

Ex-Lagos Lawmaker Calls for Reevaluation of Tinubu-Wike Alliance

Let me tell you something important. Jude Idimogu, a former lawmaker from the Lagos State House of Assembly, is speaking up. He’s urging President Bola Tinubu to rethink his relationship with the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike. This isn’t just idle chatter—it’s a serious matter with real implications for Nigeria.

You know, when things get heated in politics, it’s not just about personalities. It’s about the nation as a whole. Idimogu is warning Tinubu that if the ongoing crisis in Rivers State isn’t managed properly, the entire country could suffer. We’re talking about not meeting our oil production quotas set by OPEC. That’s a big deal. It affects everyone, from the man on the street to the bigwigs in government.

Idimogu Speaks Out: A Stark Warning for Tinubu

Now, Idimogu didn’t hold back when he spoke about this. In a statement, he laid it all out. He accused Wike of being a troublemaker—not just in Rivers State but across the nation. He praised Tinubu for stepping in to address the tensions between Wike and his successor, Siminalayi Fubara, but he also made it clear that the intervention came a little too late.

Here’s what Idimogu said: “The president has taken the right action, but it’s a little bit too late. The signs were there. Rivers State is a critical point for Nigeria, especially when it comes to crude oil exploration. Let me be blunt—the president is gambling. Wike shouldn’t hold the country or Rivers State hostage. Just because Wike helped us win the election doesn’t mean the president can’t function without him. The president is gambling, and it’s risky.”

A Call for Change: Reviewing Wike’s Role

Idimogu went further, suggesting that Tinubu needs to take a hard look at Wike’s activities. He described Wike as a “bad market” not only for the All Progressives Congress (APC) but for Tinubu personally. “Must Wike always have his way? It’s unfortunate. It’s high time the president reviewed Nyesom Wike’s actions. There must be someone better suited to handle the FCT ministry. Why must it always be Wike? He’s going to drag the president into trouble.”

He added, “President Tinubu, wake up and make a decision about Wike. For the sake of the nation, this needs to change. Wike is causing so much damage. We’re already failing to meet our OPEC oil production targets, and now we risk losing even more. Does Wike have to always get his way? Is that how we move the country forward?”

Idimogu also pointed out an interesting contrast. He noted that Wike is reaping benefits without putting in the same level of effort as others, like former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai, who worked tirelessly for Tinubu’s presidency but weren’t rewarded with high-profile positions. That’s food for thought, isn’t it?

Looking Ahead: Tinubu’s Role in Building a Stronger Nigeria

Idimogu didn’t stop there. He acknowledged that Tinubu is doing some good things. He highlighted the president’s efforts to solve Nigeria’s challenges and praised him as a leader who has consistently stood for democracy. He called Tinubu “the father of democracy in Nigeria” and emphasized his trustworthiness as a leader.

But Idimogu reminded everyone that one person can’t do it all alone. “A tree cannot make a forest, but a tree can start a forest,” he said. It’s a powerful metaphor. Tinubu has come a long way in promoting democracy, but now is the time to take decisive action. Reevaluating alliances and focusing on the greater good for Nigeria might just be the next step in building that forest.
