Wike Criticizes Kwara Governor for Political Obsession
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, accused Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of being overly focused on him rather than on governance. During an interview on Arise News Prime Time, Wike responded to concerns raised by APC governors, led by Hope Uzodimma, regarding his political activities that allegedly undermine President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Wike remarked, “Anytime Governor AbdulRazaq of Kwara State sees a snake, it’s Wike,” suggesting that AbdulRazaq is fixated on him. He defended the PDP’s decision to grant return tickets to certain senators and House members who were denied by AbdulRazaq, arguing that their support for Tinubu should not be overshadowed by local political issues.
Wike also recalled facing opposition during his tenure as governor of Rivers State and as FCT Minister, asserting that the political disagreements he faces are not new.
