VIDEO: Obi is looking for where food is ready — Wike

n n

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has criticised former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, over his recent defection to the National Democratic Congress.

n

Wike made the remarks on Wednesday during his monthly media briefing in Abuja, where he questioned Obi’s leadership record and accused him of failing to strengthen the political parties he has been associated with.

n

According to the minister, Obi’s movement across multiple platforms reflects political opportunism rather than principled leadership.

n

“Obi was in APGA. He couldn’t build the APGA. What is good in leadership? Leadership is for you to stand up to challenges and see how you settle those crises,” Wike said.

n

“He left APGA. He came to the PDP. He ran away from the PDP. ‘There was one man in the PDP who was dominating everything’. He went to Labour.

n

“Labour had a crisis. He couldn’t also use his leadership skills, his leadership prowess, to put Labour together. He ran away again from Labour.”

n

Wike further alleged that Obi’s latest political move reinforces a pattern of inconsistency.

n

“He went to ADC. Now ADC has problems. He ran away from ADC again.

n

“All he is looking for is where food is ready. ‘Mama put’. Who will stabilise if you cannot stabilise?” Wike said.

n

The FCT minister also referenced reactions to a recent Supreme Court ruling on the ADC leadership crisis, pointing to what he described as contradictions in the positions taken by Obi and his supporters.

n

“When the Supreme Court judgement came out on ADC, Obi said the Supreme Court has saved this country,” Wike said.

n

“Yesterday, one Obidient said they have looked at it, that there’s a trap there. So after you have praised the Supreme Court, you now know there’s a trap?”
