EXTRA: Wike dances to ‘on your mandate we shall stand’ with Rivers politicians

Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), has again sung and danced to: ‘On your mandate we shall stand’, the signature tune of President Bola Tinubu.

The last time Wike publicly sang, hopped and gyrated to the tune was in early December, in the office of Femi Gbajabiamila, chief of staff to the president.

Wike’s version of the tune, which is a hit among Tinubu’s supporters, is often interrupted with chants of ‘Jagaban’, the president’s traditional title, as he stomps this way and that — fists balled in a power salute.

In the viral video, Wike and some politicians from his base in Rivers, including Chibudum Nwuche, former deputy speaker of the house of representatives; Barry Mpigi, a member of the senate; and Kelechi Nworgu, lawmaker representing Etche/Omuma federal constituency; could be heard singing: ‘On your mandate, we shall stand’ with the chant ‘Jagaban’ interspersed for effect.

Others in the video include Ferdinand Alabraba, former board chairman of UBA; and OCJ Okocha, ex-NBA president.

Wike has been locked in a battle for the control of the political structure of Rivers with Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state.

The FCT minister is still a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
