Wike Critiques Atiku's Trustworthiness Ahead of 2027 Elections
On October 27, Nyesom Wike, the FCT Minister, publicly criticized former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar during the unveiling of candidates for the Rainbow Coalition. Wike accused Atiku, the presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress, of frequently changing his political positions and being untrustworthy.
Drawing from his past experience as one of Atiku's most committed supporters, Wike stated that he now harbors serious doubts about Atiku's reliability, claiming, "He's not a man that you can go to the bank with his words." Wike highlighted Atiku's pattern of reversing his positions, which he believes makes it challenging for political allies to depend on him. He directly challenged the audience to consider whether such a figure deserved their loyalty, marking one of the most direct public attacks on Atiku as the 2027 general elections approach.
Wike also revealed plans for the Rainbow Coalition ahead of the elections, including a governorship pick.
