Is there a new "Wike" in town? Social media is currently in a frenzy following viral photos of Joaquin Nyesom-Wike, son of the FCT Minister and former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike. Rumors are swirling that the younger Wike is being groomed for a seat in the House of Representatives, triggering a massive wave of reactions from "Netizens" and political analysts alike.
The "El Chapo" Connection?
A trending thread on the platform Threads has seen users digging into everything from Joaquin's name to his public persona. One user asked, "Why did he name his child after El Chapo? Does Wike want him to be a drug dealer too?" while others focused on his calm demeanor, labeling him as looking "emotionless" or like a "Sim."
The DNA of Regret?
The most viral take comes from a post by @realapostlepaul, who claims that even if Wike supports his son’s political ambition, history might repeat itself. The post, which has garnered thousands of views, states:
"Even if Wike supports him to become a Rep, he will regret supporting him because it is in DNA to regret supporting people 😂😂😂. O dị ya n'ọbara (It is in the blood)."
This is a direct jab at Wike’s fractured relationship with his political godson and successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
