Speaking on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’, Ogwuche highlighted that Fubara may have underestimated the depth of the relationship between Tinubu and Wike when he defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ogwuche explained: “Wike and Tinubu’s relationship goes beyond a godfather-godson dynamic.
It runs deeper into certain undercurrents that are not easily fathomed, and the president will always place Wike at an advantage in this crisis.”
