Wike Labels Atiku and Amaechi's Ticket Corrupt in Rivers
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former Governor of Rivers State, condemned the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential ticket of Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi during a political engagement in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area, Rivers State. He described the coalition as a "joint ticket of corruption" and claimed they would fail to achieve the required 25% vote share in Rivers State.
Wike referenced former President Olusegun Obasanjo's criticism of Atiku Abubakar's integrity, questioning how someone labeled as corrupt could claim moral authority. He also criticized Amaechi's involvement, suggesting it further tarnished the ticket's credibility.
Wike expressed his commitment to ensuring President Bola Tinubu's reelection in 2027, stating that his focus is on promoting Tinubu's achievements and urging Rivers State residents to support him. He expressed confidence that Tinubu's reelection would be easier than in 2023.
