What God Told Me About Tinubu, Remi Tinubu, And The 2027 Re-election -Primate Ayodele Speaks

Shehu Sani, a former senator from Kaduna Central, has commented on the ongoing political upheaval in Rivers State, where a significant number of party defections are altering the political scene. This commentary comes after several lawmakers loyal to former governor Nyesom Wike decided to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) account on December 9, 2025, Sani used a biblical reference to illustrate the departure of Wike’s supporters, stating, “My friend Wike’s supporters have crossed the Red Sea, leaving him behind in Cairo before he boards the last flight.”

His remark humorously critiques the growing flight of Wike’s allies, which many view as a tactical political shift. The situation escalated with the current governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, also switching to the APC, despite having previously benefited from Wike’s political backing within the PDP.

Wike, who now serves as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), remains with the PDP, though his ties to the party’s leadership have become strained since the 2023 general elections. The recent defections indicate a decline in the PDP’s influence in Rivers State.

Sani’s witty but insightful comment reflects the reality that political dynamics in Rivers are evolving quickly. With more of Wike’s former supporters changing parties, speculation arises about whether the former governor will also make a similar transition in the future or try to reinforce his position within the PDP.

The political climate in Rivers State is clearly shifting, raising anticipation regarding whether Wike will take “the last flight” or be left behind in the struggle for relevance.
