Watching the viral clips from the PDP secretariat — where supporters of Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi and those of Nyesom Wike turned a political meeting into a free-for-all action film — one is reminded of a timeless truth:
No region, no politician, and certainly no human being has a monopoly over political thuggery, kalerism or sara-suka gangsterism, militancy, or the intoxicating madness of power.
Let’s be honest:
The “Wike boys” came prepared for a showdown… but Bala’s “liberators” politely escorted them to the exit.
Very politely.
Even gravity assisted.
And all of this happened in Abuja—the very city where Nyesom Wike has been acting like a land-grabbing Caesar, allegedly reallocating plots as though the Federal Capital Territory were his personal empire.
Just days ago, this same Wike was caught on camera publicly insulting a uniformed Army lieutenant, AM Yerima—calling a soldier on duty “stupid” and ordering him to “shut up”.
Such reckless disrespect for the military, for institutions, and for democratic norms should never be tolerated in any civilized society.
But this is not about the “North versus South” or Bala versus Wike narratives, a divisive rhetoric that some people like to recycle whenever they need political oxygen.
If anything, this entire drama simply reminded Nigerians of one humorous proverb often said in the North:
“Ko da me ka zo an fika.”
— Whatever baggage you came with, you met someone who already carried it before you.
In other words:
Whether it is wealth or poverty, literacy or illiteracy, leadership or misleadership, unity or division, brilliance or brigandage — Nigeria is blessed (or cursed) with surplus in every region.
No side is superior.
No side is inferior.
We are all graduates of the same political factory.
Which is precisely why the North–South comparison is a useless contest.
The real match is between the Nigerian citizens and the Nigerian elite.
And guess who always wins these clashes?
Not us.
Never us.
Only the same self-serving elite who benefit from chaos, distraction, and division while they negotiate new deals, share new contracts, and exchange fresh hugs behind closed doors.
The fight at the PDP secretariat did not feed a single hungry Nigerian.
It did not rescue one abducted girl.
It did not stop insecurity.
It did not reduce fuel prices.
It did not ease hardship.
It only entertained us briefly — while reinforcing that the Nigerian elite class is united in one thing: protecting its own interests.
At a moment when foreign powers are openly renewing the dangerous rhetoric of intervention, hunting for any excuse to undermine our sovereignty, this is the worst time to give our enemies a stick to beat our backs.
Nigeria cannot afford internal division.
Not now.
Not ever.
What we need today are leaders who embody truth, justice, mercy, unity, and humility — leaders who build bridges, not barricades; leaders who heal wounds, not weaponize identity; leaders who stand for Nigerians, not against them.
And this is where the PDP, ironically, finds itself today:
In the labour room.
Struggling.
Pushing.
Sweating.
Trying to deliver a new, healthier, more responsible opposition for a country suffocating under the weight of one-party arrogance.
Meanwhile in the APC, we are watching a democratic government gradually adopt the playbook of aging strongmen — a Paul Biya–style manual of state capture, but dressed in agbada and democratic grammar.
Nigeria cannot sleep through this moment.
Not when internal and external forces are plotting their moves.
Not when Nigerians are bleeding economically, socially, and spiritually.
This is the time to rise.
To unite.
To resist manipulation.
To reject elite-imposed divisions.
To protect our nation from internal abuse and external exploitation.
Nigeria must stand tall again —
not as a divided house,
not as a weak prey,
but as the true giant of Africa, shoulder to shoulder with the world’s strongest nations.
Our destiny is too sacred to be sacrificed on the altar of political thuggery and regional ego.
Time to wake up, unite, and rebuild —
for Nigeria, and for the future of every child yet unborn.
