Wike Ridicules Atiku's Presidential Ambitions, Questions Democratic Values

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's presidential ambitions during a media chat in Abuja. Wike questioned Atiku's persistence, asking if he was prescribed drugs for the presidency.

The swipe came after Atiku criticized the local government election in Rivers State, alleging interference. Wike highlighted Atiku's past support for elections conducted against court orders, emphasizing the need to respect the rule of law.

The exchange reflects political tensions as Atiku eyes the presidency, facing scrutiny from Wike over his democratic principles and actions.
