Wike Questions Trustworthiness of Atiku Abubakar in Rivers
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, publicly questioned the credibility of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, stating he cannot be trusted. Wike and Abubakar were both members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before the 2023 elections, where Abubakar won the PDP presidential ticket.
Currently, Wike serves as the FCT minister under President Bola Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress-led administration, while Abubakar is vying for the presidency on the platform of the African Democratic Congress ahead of the 2027 elections. During an event at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt, where the Wike-led Rainbow Coalition unveiled its preferred candidates for the upcoming elections, Wike claimed that no meaningful opposition party exists in Rivers State.
He expressed skepticism about Abubakar's candidacy, emphasizing his past experiences with him and advising the crowd to avoid trusting him.
