The ground is shifting fast. For Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, the old playbook of political survival is suddenly failing. With alliances collapsing and loyalties in flux, he now finds himself stranded in a system he once navigated with ease.

His dilemma is as stark as it is telling. Does he run to the Labour Party and seek cover under Governor Alex Otti, hoping for a lifeline? Or does he follow Peter Obi into the uncertain promise of the NDC, where nothing is guaranteed?

For a man long accustomed to political relevance, this is an unfamiliar territory. The safety nets are thinning, the options narrowing, and the clock ticking louder than ever.

In politics, timing is everything, but for Abaribe, time may just be running out.

This is the case of Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe – a political opportunist becoming politically homeless.

The coming days will be interesting.
