The Power Play: Patience Jonathan’s Desperate Plea for Wike

The grand chamber was tense. Elder statesman Edwin Clark sat in silence, his gaze fixed on the trembling woman before him. The former First Lady, Patience Jonathan, fell to her knees, her voice cracking with emotion.

"Please, make him governor," she whispered. Then, to everyone's shock, she rolled on the cold marble floor, pleading—begging—as if the fate of Rivers State itself depended on it.

In the other room, Godknows Igali watched in stunned silence. Wike, the man at the center of this storm, stood still, heart pounding. He had come seeking power, but even he hadn't expected this level of sacrifice.

Years later, that same Wike—now a powerful minister—would turn against the very elders who once paved his way to greatness.

And now, the elders have spoken. The war of words has begun. The past is knocking, and Wike must answer.
