The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has been told to focus on his ministerial job and stop his media attacks on the Chairman, Board of Trustees, BoT, of the Peoples Democratic Party, Adolphus Wabara.
The message was delivered on Wednesday by a PDP pro-group, PDP Frontiers for Change and Progress, in Umuahia.
The group was reacting to Wike’s recent media chat where he threw jabs at the former Senate President, Wabara, accusing him of campaigning for the Labour Party (LP)-led administration of Governor Alex Otti of Abia State.
Wike, during the chat, said he was surprised that people were not blaming Wabara—who he accused of campaigning for Governor Alex Otti’s re-election—but were quick to crucify him (Wike) for openly supporting President Tinubu.
But responding to the Minister’s statement, the Chairman of the PDP group, Mr. Emeka Yellow Ikpegbu, said:
“Wike lacks the moral rectitude to criticise Senator Wabara for applauding the developmental strides of his state governor, when he (Wike), a supposed PDP chieftain, is busy championing the re-election bid of President Ahmed Tinubu, a member of another party.”;;
“Why does Wike, who masquerades as an apostle of truth, derive pleasure in castigating Senator Wabara for speaking the truth? When has telling the truth become a crime? PDP lost Abia in 2023 because Wike chose not to speak truth to power. Courageous elders like Wabara and a few others who spoke out were hated and chastised. Today, we all know better.”;;
The group further challenged Wike to tackle the various challenges of Abuja residents instead of engaging in unnecessary media showmanship against Wabara, even as it said that nobody would be allowed to destroy the PDP ahead of 2027.
