Yet, he now gleefully undermines the very foundation that nurtured him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is disheartening that a man who owes so much to a party that stood by him in his political journey has chosen to be a willing tool in its denigration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis recent media outburst was yet another reminder of his transactional approach to politics, where personal ambition eclipses loyalty, principles, and collective interests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnlike Wike, who thrives on drama and divisiveness, Sen.
