[OPINION] Do you see the Rivers State crisis? Tinubu may be Involved

Do not be surprised if Tinubu is the masked figure behind its prolonged nature. Given that his aide recently gave an interview on TVC and maintained a neutral tone, it appears that Tinubu stands to gain from the ongoing Wike-Sim crisis in Rivers State.

Tinubu has a history of strategic political moves, including preventing Wike from accessing both Rivers state funds and FCT funds at the same time, which would make him extremely powerful and uncontrollable.

Wike is a fighter; that is a fact. He can support you today, but fight you to the mud once his (personal) interest is threatened, and that can only be executed when the funds are available at his disposal.

In my thoughts, Tinubu may be exploring the Divide-and-Rule Political Strategy. Just like the fallout of the G5 governors with Atiku, prior to the Presidential elections, he utilized them in their division and got his way into power.

Tinubu being a political master strategist who has been on top of his game since 1994 till date, without failing in any of his political voyages, will not fail to utilize any given advantage to maintain absolute supremacy beyond 2027 or 2031 as the case may be.

He may be secretly fueling the crisis and forming alliances with key players like Fubara, to maintain control and diminish Wike’s power, leaving no room for potential challengers in the future.

This opinion, which emphasises Tinubu’s political savvy and long-term planning, is based on his previous actions as well as the circumstances of the present, and I stand to be corrected.
