When Wike had issues with Prince Deji Adeyanju, he accused Adeyanju of coming to his house in Abuja to seek a favor. That favor was that Wike should make him the PDP publicity secretary. For that reason, he technically threw Deji off balance.
When Dr. Ruben Abati spoke against him, he accused Abati of coming to his house in Port Harcourt to ask for help. That help was bailout funds, which Abati aggressively denied. However, my hunch is that this accusation watered down Abati’s hitherto genuine argument.
Now take two minutes to imagine if Sowore had asked Wike for a favor in this life. That could have been Sowore’s Achilles’ heel. It could have done incalculable damage to his credibility. If you want to become a man of consequence in activism, you must shun handouts, freebies, and quick fixes.
