Wike Defends Tinubu's Performance Against Opposition Claims

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, accused opposition politicians of misleading Nigerians about President Bola Tinubu’s performance during a media parley in Abuja. He argued that partisan interests should not hinder a fair assessment of Tinubu's administration, which he claimed has seen positive developments.

Wike stated that Tinubu deserves recognition for his achievements, regardless of political affiliations. He noted that the emerging coalition supporting Tinubu's re-election aims to counter what he described as unfair criticism from opposition parties.

Wike emphasized that political competition should not lead to the dismissal of every action by the incumbent government, especially when progress is evident. He cited Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed's acknowledgment of Tinubu's performance as an example of legitimate criticism that should not be viewed as a betrayal of opposition politics.

Wike defended the Rainbow Coalition, which includes APC members and supporters from other parties, as a means to mobilize broader support for the president.
