Wike has welcomed Okowa’s support for President Tinubu, calling it a validation of his own 2023 decision to back the APC — and a sign of shifting tides in southern politics.
  • Wike praised former Delta governor Okowa for endorsing Tinubu.
  • He said it proves his early support was well-judged.
  • Okowa and Delta Governor Oborevwori are both linked to possible APC realignments.
  • Wike framed the shift as a win for Niger Delta development.
  • He urged more leaders to rally behind Tinubu for “unity and progress.”
This isn’t just Wike celebrating a political moment — it’s him reclaiming the narrative. After facing backlash in 2023 for backing Tinubu over his party, Wike now sees his stance being echoed by former critics. It shows how quickly alliances can shift in Nigerian politics — and how rare vindication feels when it happens.
