Tambuwal Reacts To “Wike Lule” Mockery By Arise TV Owner Nduka Obaigbena (Video)

TRIXX NG reports a viral video showing moments Nduka Obaigbena, founder of Thisday newspaper and Arise TV making Mockery of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State over the weekend.

Obaigbena, who hosted influential personalities in his hometown in Delta State during the funeral of his mother, Margaret Obaigbena, had praised Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State before making a mockery of Wike by saying “Wike lule” on several occasions.

Tambuwal who sat next to Obaigbena shook his head, gesticulating in a manner that he did not approve of it when the publisher said, “Wike ‘lule”, but Obaigbena kept hammering on it.

He started by singing, “Governor of Sokoto”, to which some persons chorused, “Tambuwal”; “Chairman of PDP Governors’ Forum,” and the people responded, “Tambuwal!”; “Presidential candidate, Tambuwal!”; “Future president”, Tambuwal!; “Wike lule” the people responded, “Tambuwal!.”

Recall, that Tambuwal and Wike who were allies fell out after the PDP primaries won by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar. Tambuwal, who was an aspirant had stepped down for Atiku.

Lule, a word in Yoruba which means “fallen or failed”, found its way into the Nigerian political lexicon after the outburst of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Presidential Candidate of the APC, in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital in June.
