Wike Labels Atiku Abubakar Untrustworthy in Public Critique
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, publicly criticized Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, labeling him as untrustworthy. During an event in Port Harcourt for the Rainbow Coalition, Wike stated he was one of Atiku's major sponsors in the 2019 general elections and ran alongside him in the 2022 presidential primaries.
Wike advised people to pray never to know Atiku, asserting that his word cannot be taken seriously. The relationship between Wike and Atiku deteriorated after the 2022 Peoples Democratic Party presidential primary, where Atiku secured the party's ticket.
Following this, Wike opposed the PDP in the 2023 general elections and supported Bola Tinubu, leading to Tinubu's victory.
