Wike’s Fashion Faux Pas: How the Ex-Governor’s Suit Buttoning Went Viral

Former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has become a subject of online ridicule over his choice of outfit to a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Thursday.

Wike, who led the defunct G5 Governors to the meeting, was spotted wearing a suit that was improperly buttoned, exposing his shirt and tie in an awkward manner.

The photos of the meeting, which were shared on social media, quickly attracted comments from Nigerians who mocked Wike’s fashion sense and speculated on his motive for visiting Tinubu.

Some suggested that Wike was nervous or desperate for a political appointment from Tinubu, who is widely believed to be eyeing the presidency in 2023.

Others defended Wike, saying that he was a fashion icon and that his suit buttoning was intentional and stylish.

Wike, who is a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been seen as a close ally of Tinubu since he supported the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 presidential election.

This is the third time Wike will be meeting Tinubu in 10 days, raising eyebrows among political observers.

Wike, who is a lawyer by profession, served as the governor of Rivers State from 2015 to 2023. He is known for being outspoken and controversial on national issues.
