In the quirky world of Nigerian politics, disappointment has enveloped some detractors of Nyesom Wike and this has left the bad belle people scratching their heads in amusement and confusion. In what looks like the phrase, “Nye Ndi Eba, Nye Ndi Eba,” often associated with the former governor of Rivers State, President Bola Tinubu may have embraced the simple yet enigmatic phrase of ‘Nye Ndi Eba, Nye Ndi Eba’: “Give to this people (APC) and give to the other people (PDP).” In other words, when you give to one side, also give to the other side.

Meanwhile, in the land of political alliances and unexpected twists, President Tinubu emerged victorious in elections under the banner of the All Progressives Congress (APC). However, as he assumed office, something utterly bewildering to haters of Wike happened. Despite the differing political backgrounds and affiliations of President Tinubu and Wike, we now learnt of the appointment of a prominent figure from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a minister – none other than the former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.

The news of this appointment spread like wildfire, leaving the political pundits and haters scratching their heads in bewilderment. Was this a gesture inspired by the spirit of “Nye Ndi Eba, Nye Ndi Eba” or what? The phrase echoed in their minds like a perplexing riddle.

The comical twist of events sent the political rumor mill into overdrive. Citizens and politicians alike were left speculating about the implications of such an appointment. Was it a brilliant masterstroke by President Tinubu, aimed at fostering unity and inclusivity in the nation’s leadership? Or was it a strategic move to consolidate power and forge a unique political alliance?

Rumors and conspiracy theories abounded. Some suggested that President Tinubu was creating a coalition government, with representatives from different parties, in an effort to bring harmony and cooperation to the political landscape. Others claimed that it was all a grand plan to outwit his political rivals and leave them scratching their heads in confusion.

The comedic commentary on social media was a sight to behold. Memes and gifs depicting disapointed haters of Wike flooded the internet. One meme showed a cartoonish version of President Tinubu handing out gifts to both the APC and PDP sides, with the caption, “Nye Ndi Eba, Nye Ndi Eba – The Art of Political Gift-Giving!”

As the comical story unfolded, Nyesom Wike, now appointed as a minister, found himself at the center of attention. His supporters were overjoyed, celebrating the unexpected political triumph. Meanwhile, his detractors couldn’t help but marvel at the audacity of the appointment. The phrase “Nye Ndi Eba, Nye Ndi Eba” became a popular catchphrase, used in jest and irony to describe the unpredictable nature of Nigerian politics.

The tale of President Tinubu’s appointment of Nyesom Wike as a minister continued to be a hot topic of discussion at political gatherings and social events including Arabian tea joints in the heart of Abuja. Citizens debated the implications of this curious decision, while comedians and satirists had a field day crafting jokes and skits about the comical nature of the situation.

It served as a reminder that in Nigerian politics, anything is possible, and the spirit of “Nye Ndi Eba, Nye Ndi Eba” may just continue to guide the whimsical path of political alliances and appointments in the years to come.

Congratulations Your Excellency, the former Governor of Rivers State and enigmatic Nyesom Wike!

Nye Ndi Eba, Nye Ndi Eba!!!
