When it comes to politicking in Nigeria, it is assumed there is neither a permanent friend nor enemy. The only permanent factor as often said is interest.
Interestingly, a presumed friend can consequently turn an enemy as long as that guarantees the interest would be served.

This explains the protracted enmity and the political divorce between Rotimi Amaechi, the immediate past governor of Rivers state and his former chief of staff, Nyesome Wike.
The duo who were once like Siamese political twin conjoined by the political interest of the state are now at loggerheads. Politically, they now live worlds apart like night and day.
It would be recalled that Wike was the former chief of staff to governor Rotimi Amaechi in his first tenure.
The former chief of staff was once quoted to have boasted he managed the office effectively which explained why Amaechi neither had issues with the presidency nor dumped the Peoples Democratic Party.
“The office of the Chief of Staff, Government House, died when I left office in 2011. That office properly coordinated government activities when I was there. Government had a direction. Governor Amaechi would not have had all these problems if I was Chief of Staff ” he boasted.
