Nyesom Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory had withered the turbulent or violent political storm in Rivers State in 2023 to make Simi Fubara Governor.
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso equally went through the crucibles to make Abba Kabir Yusuf the Governor of Kano State in 2023.
Today, it’s Fubara versus Wike. Yusuf versus Kwankwaso. And such other similar cases. And you think it’s ordinary? No. It’s not ordinary. Not cases of happenstance or accidental discharges or developments. They’re all in fulfilment of existing or subsisting prophecies. You may or may not understand. We board.
For those who have been following the Fubara/Wike “war” or squabble since it started, if you’re asked the cause of the problem, you might not be able to say anything convincing or tenable or substantive or concrete. Fubara has not told us what’s the cause of the rift. Wike has not done that too. Their audience have only been dwelling on imaginations. Guessing what must have been the reason for the quarrel.
Even the peace meeting said to have been brokered by President Bola Tinubu, none of them has volunteered or unveiled the outcome of the peace meeting. The agreement reached at the parley. Nobody has seen either the soft copy or the hard copy of the peace agreenent. Or, even the “oral” copy. Rather, they have continued to accuse each other of breaching or reneging on the agreement reached at the president’s peace confab or initiative.
Ask yourself, after the peace meeting that was anchored by Mr President, why has the battle become more disturbing or aggravated?. What’s the reason for the renewed war?. You can’t pin anything down.
Why has Wike been talking as if Fubara has been his childhood enemy?. Or, Fubara talking as if he had met Wike at Abonima wharf loading bags of cement?. None has been talking as if there was a relationship. This World! This World!! This World!!!. We are all aliens. Pilgrims. Pencils in the hands of the creator. You may not understand. Continue coming, but let’s also bring Kano State closer to enable us arrive at a concensus or something close to that in the final analysis.
Now, the kano State story. Which is even more interesting and more thought-provoking than that of Rivers State.
The current governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf was “boyiboyi” to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. In 1999, Yusuf was Kwankwaso’s Personal Assistant. In 2003, Kwankwaso became Minister and also retained Yusuf as his Personal Assistant. In 2011, Kwankwaso became governor again and made this his Personal Assistant, Honourable Commissioner for Works, Housing and Transport. You could imagin the scenario. Three grade A ministries made one Ministry for the sake of Yusuf. And Kwankwaso did it. Kwankwaso mereya just for the good of Yusuf.
In 2018, Kwankwaso sponsored Yusuf to challenge the then Gov. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the 2019 guber poll. He could not make it.
In 2023, Kwankwaso sponsored Yusuf again for the Governorship of Kano State on the ticket of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, to challenge the APC candidate, Nasir Gawuna. And Yusuf of NNPP won. On March 29, 2023 he was given Certificate of Return. And on May 29, 2023, he was sworn in as the Executive Governor of Kano State. In other words, all the efforts of Kwankwaso to make his “boy” Yusuf governor of one of the largest States in Nigeria paid off. Now read between the lines.
The same Abba Kabir Yusuf recently negotiated to join APC without letting Kwankwaso know. Without putting Kwankwaso in the know. Without carrying the man along. The man read about the governor’s defection plan in the media just like any other Nigerian. And you think that the development is ordinary?. No. It is not.
Now do this simple arithematic or “sum” or mathematics. From 1999 when Kwankwaso made Yusuf his Personnal Assistant to 2023 when he succeeded in making him the governor of Kano State, would give you twenty four years. Not approximately. That’s the figure. The correct figure. And for kwankwaso to have made Yusuf his Personal Assistant in 1999 as governor, was an indication that their relationship preceded 1999.
Read my lips correctly. From May 29, 2023 when Yusuf was sworn in as governor of kano State and 2025 when he had concluded plan to move to APC without Kwankwaso knowing would be approximately less than three years. In other words, it has taken Yusuf approximately three years to destroy the political kingdom that had existed before 1999. They said he was offered two hundred and fifty million dollars. All these are mere speculations. Speculations that could neither be here nor there. That can’t be situated. Even at that, can you equate the amount with the political relationsship that has made the man a “recurring decimal” in the politics of Kano State, that climaxed into his becoming the Executive Governor of kano State?. I do not think so. If you ask me.
Now let’s marry or bring together the stories of Wike and Fubara, Kwankwaso and Yusuf, and other similar cases not captured in this composition to arrive at something . They’re all in fulfilment of long time prophecies.
Luke 21: 10 says, “Kingdoms SHALL rise against Kingdoms”. And Matthew 12: 25 says, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; SHALL not stand”. That’s the bottomline. Political kingdoms.
Find out the operational meaning of the word “Kingdom” and understand better. Political kingdoms. And as it is in Rivers and kano , so it is in some other places and at some other levels.
When some of these things happen, they are happening in fulfilment of certain prophecies. Otherwise, how would one or anybody imagine that Yusuf would be the one to destroy the political kingdom Kwankwaso erected with him and which he, Yusuf, remains the greatest beneficiary. He is the one tearing the kingdom apart and Kwankwaso has begun to run helter skelter. Kingdom rising against kingdom.
That is to say, when your own big or small kingdom or the kingdom you are associated with, comes under threat or under heavy bombardment, you only need to ask GOD to take control. To take the Center-stage. You are likely to lose more when you fight to restore the kingdom. Even when you succeed in doing so, it can not be the old kingdom again. The known kingdom. It would only look like the old kingdom, with trust and dedication which made the initial kingdom the envy of many, lacking. Suspicion and groaning would become both the lowest and highest common factors. And if it is not panadol, it is not panadol. The reason Wike and Fubara have continued to fight inspite of the President’s mediation or intervention.
Who would have believed that the same Fubara, Wike fought or insulted almost everybody in Rivers State to make sure he became governor in 2023 would be the one telling all and sundry that the same Wike barks like a dog. Only a fool says there is no GOD.
None of them should be blamed. They’re only fulfiling prophecies and obviously unknown to them. I am only using the mentioned people in this work as references. Not limited to them. Kingdoms vary, both in size and in structure.
We SHALL continue to clap for JESUS.
