'Kingibe, an ant, ignore her' - Omokri to Wike

Describing Ireti Kingibe, a prominent member of the Labour Party (LP) and lawmaker representing the nation’s capital, as "just an irritant", Omokri asserted that the senator has minimal ability to do Wike any harm.

"You are already fighting an obstinate foe in Rivers. Why will you leave the elephant you are carrying on your head to use your toe to kill an ant? What if you slip and fall?"You are threatening her that she will not return. First of all, that is undemocratic. But even if Wike's threat to stop her reelection was not undemocratic, how many ruling parties have won in the FCT? The FCT traditionally votes for opposition parties. Buhari lost the FCT in 2015 and 2019. President Tinubu lost it in 2023."Should Wike not be more concerned about winning FCT votes in 2027 than fighting a girl? If you constantly make enemies everywhere you go, perhaps other people are not the problem. What is in Ireti Kingibe that you cannot transcend her by ignoring her?"

Nigerians react to Wike's Versace outfit

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Wike got many talking on Monday, July 1, as he donned a £1,499 Versace logo-patch denim midi coat.

The former Rivers state governor paired the coat with blue jeans, shoes, and a cream-coloured hat, looking stylish during the flag-off of the Mabushi Bus Terminal in Abuja.
