“Why do we deceive Nigerians? Why can’t we tell ourselves the simple truth?What you preach is not what you practice. And you know, we like to hear such things but that is being deceitful.

And these are the kind of things that I tell Nigerians, look, don’t allow people to deceive you. People who are preaching that they care for you, they don’t care for you, they don’t think about you. They only try to use you to climb”.

adamkkk:
I don't see anything wrong with a business man and a successful ex governor having expensive wine.

If that is the only jab Wike had to throw on Obi, then this Obi must be very smart to hide his weaknesses.

I went to my inlaw's house after he came from Over sea, he was a General during Gowon's time and a close classmate of Yakubu Gowon.

He brought drinks, we drank and ate and left. My wife later told me that he never expected "PAPA" to bring out that wine. It was worth more than $50k (maybe am exaggerating) and according to her, Papa gets expensive gifts alot from people.

He was given several cars at one time that they started selling them to create space in the compound.

If an ex General that retired in the 1970s could own an expensive wine, how much more a business man and a recently ex governor. Come on na.

Let's be honest, this jab is not moving sand, Wike should try harder.


PS: I am completely apolitical, I don't support APC or LP. I don't support Autocratic Democracy. I only speak the truth from my conscience.

Presidency sources say the deal, part of a broader effort to restore democratic order in Rivers, involves significant concessions.

According to insiders, one of the key terms is that @SimFubaraKSC will be reinstated to complete his four-year tenure but must forgo any plans to seek a second term in 2027 — a move that will limit his clout but to which he agreed.

A source said, as part of the conditions, Wike would be allowed to nominate all the local government chairpersons across the 23 LGAs of the state.

Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike on Thursday took a subtle dig at a former Governor of Anambra State and the 2023 Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi over the latter’s claim of leading a spartan lifestyle and not given to luxury.


Speaking at the commissioning of the Kugbo Bus and Taxi Terminal, Wike recalled the glorious days of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP and how he had joined a delegation to Anambra State where their host served them Cristal Brut, some form of expensive champagne.

Obi had in 2017 shortly after leaving the Anambra Government House claimed he had only one wristwatch which he had worn for 17 years.

Speaking at The Platform, a programme organized by the Covenant Christian Centre in Lagos, Mr Obi said he also had two pairs of black shoes which he travels with always.

“I have said it to Nigerians, Peter Obi wears only black shoes, and I have two pairs of them, and I travel with them”, Obi had said, referring to his austere lifestyle.

However, Wike urged politicians to practice what they preach. He said; “I will tell you something. When PDP had no problem, we went to Anambra state for a gubernatorial campaign and when we finished  that campaign, we went to somebody’s house. I just sat down. Come and see the best of drinks, this and that. So, I called him, I said you are providing cristal champagne here but every day, you tell people that you wear only one shoe, you carry your own bag, only you. But look at champagne here. Not just champagne, cristal.

“Why do we deceive Nigerians? Why can’t we tell ourselves the simple truth?What you preach is not what you practice. And you know, we like to hear such things but that is being deceitful.

And these are the kind of things that I tell Nigerians, look, don’t allow people to deceive you. People who are preaching that they care for you, they don’t care for you, they don’t think about you. They only try to use you to climb”.

Amid growing speculation of a rift between President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ismaeel Ahmed, has firmly dismissed rumours of any plan to replace the Vice President for the 2027 presidential race. 


“It’s (friction) not true. I know it very well. Who is ever in a 100 per cent relationship with anyone? There is trust between President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima. We are trying to create an issue where there is none,” Ahmed said on Tuesday.

“All of these, as far as I am concerned, are rumours—absolutely rumours. I am absolutely aware there is no discussion about substituting the Vice President. There is no discussion about the vice president being blocked.

“Those are all malicious rumours by people who probably don’t understand what’s going on in the presidency or don’t know how the presidency works.”

Meanwhile, Endorsement of President Bola Tinubu doesn't amount to campaign for 2027 , APC National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Barrister Felix Morka has said.
