By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Leadership
Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, claims that Peter Obi, candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, would rather flee to Cameroon than shoulder the country’s challenges. Speaking at a meeting in Abuja, he called on residents of the Territory to support the re-election of Bola Tinubu, according to Leadership.
Nigeria’s Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday accused Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for 2027, of preferring to flee to Cameroon rather than take on the responsibilities of leading the country. He was speaking at a meeting of the Rainbow coalition and local stakeholders of the Abaji Area Council in Abuja, according to Leadership.
Wike contrasted Peter Obi’s leadership with that of President Bola Tinubu, whose difficult decisions in the face of Nigeria’s problems he defended. He asked political leaders and residents of Abaji to turn their visible support for Tinubu into concrete electoral results in the 2027 presidential election.
The minister also asked local constituency leaders to mobilise their communities to secure Tinubu’s victory. He said the Federal Capital Territory should surpass Rivers State in electoral performance and announced that he wanted to apply the same political mobilisation strategy there. This attack follows Wike’s criticism of Peter Obi and his call for electoral mobilisation in favour of Tinubu. Tinubu questions Peter Obi’s leadership in Nigeria
