Nduka Obaigbena, founder of THISDAY and Arise TV, was captured on tape making jest of the Rivers State governor, Wike Nyesom.
The incident happened at Obaigbena’s mother’s burial over the weekend.
The gathering included the Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, and other dignitaries.
When he was given a microphone, Obaigbena hailed Tambuwal describing him as the “future president” of Nigeria.
“Governor of Sokoto, Tambuwal, Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party governors forum, Tambuwal Presidential candidate,” The This Day chairman added.
However, he went further by hailing Tambuwal as the one who plotted the downfall of Wike in the PDP presidential election.
Obaigbena was captured shouting “Tambuwal Wike ‘lule’, Tambuwal Wike ‘lule’, Tambuwal! Wike ‘lule’, Tambuwal Future president, Tambuwal.”

‘’Lule’’ is a Yoruba word meaning fallen flat or failing.
Wike and the camp of the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, have been at
since the former lost the party’s presidential ticket in May.
