Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has gotten no love from Nigerians on Twitter, following his defeat to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in a bid to secure the PDP presidential ticket.
Atiku polled 371 votes compared to Wike’s 237.
In the aftermath of Wike’s loss, some Nigerians took to social media to castigate the Rivers State Governor, with some slamming his “naivety”, others his perceived treatment of Peter Obi, which led to his departure from PDP.
Other Nigerians just saw an opportunity to troll Wike. Here are some reactions from Twitter.

@obi_Nwosu Tambuwal did not betray Wike. Wike betrayed himself. Tambuwal helped his brother from the north east. While Wike sabotaged his brother from the south east.
@Franeb Wike has disappointed me. If Jonathan never taught you anything. It is not to ever mess with the North. They will scheme you out of Politics. That’s why I was shocked at his naivety and his constant blasting of Obi. Wike like his predecessors played into the hands of the North
@firstladyship Tambuwal quickly threw Wike under the bus. He did that without even thinking twice. This shows you how naive Wike is. He imagined National Politics is Obio/Akpor or my Rivers politics? He learned nothing from what Ganduje told him. Atiku is Arewa. The North comes b4 Nigeria

@NicholasIbekwe All the way Wike was taught some lesson in politics. He thinks money and being aggressive was all that was required. I hope Rivers people demand how their fund was spent by Wike and Amaechi before him on wasteful egoistic political ventures.
@Elkrosmediahub Bullied Peter Obi out of the party, and now you want sympathy from the south? Nahhh! Nyesom Wike will learn the bitter lesson of importance of unity.
@henryshield Let’s be clear pls; Wike was never representing the South. If he wanted fairness for the South, he’ll have backed a South Easterner. That’s justice! Wike was a greedy powermonger who thought he was smarter than everyone and got served. He played himself. Agbero Governor.
@EmodiMba Make Wike begin to dey auction all these buses he lined up for Abuja, no need taking them back to PH. Road no too good..
