The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, said if the flag bearer of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, was a better candidate, Nigerians would have voted him in the February 25, 2023 poll.

Wike spoke exclusively on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.

The ex-governor of Rivers State said he supported the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the expense of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the standard bearer of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the keenly contested poll.

When asked whether Obi would have handled the major issues confronting the Nigerian economy better than Tinubu if he had been elected, Wike said he doesn’t discuss presidential candidates any longer.

“I don’t want to discuss social media issue,” the FCT minister said. “I don’t discuss about presidential candidate any longer; I discuss about the economy, the President, what he has to offer.”

“If he (Obi) would have been better, Nigerians would have voted for him.”

Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, came third in the election won by APC’s Tinubu. The LP candidate and his PDP counterpart are in court to challenge the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declaring Tinubu as winner of the poll.

Seun: So you believe in Bola Tinubu?
Wike: It's more than believe, he has the capacity. Just give him support, pray for him.

All I see in Peter Obi is Buhari 2.0. that was how APC scammed Nigerians with Buhari/Osinbajo ticket.

That's right

Belike wike they on things this evening....
Wike man my man'' the only man who tell the truth regardless of who u be... Keep the vawulence going....

Nobody can be worse than the druggie

The whole Nigeria voted for Peter Obi

Why then did you fight tooth and nail to rig for Tinubu in Rivers state if you were confident that rivers people will vote for your Thiefnibu?

Wike is drunk i want to believe

No time igbos will come n call others cowards, this is one man wey dey use d whole igbos dey mop floor n them no fit do anything

b3llo:

Illiterate and tribalism - these people always vote wrong people.

Living energetic leaders to vote sick old people that can’t even go to project sites or 36 states.

Una ntor.

He meant Nigerians would have voted and not just an ethnic strata that are less than a representative of the whole country.

Same Tinubu you're supporting said Buhari was Messiah and made sure he ruled for two terms.

Who is the fool?

Of course! Obi is not fit to be a councillor. His tenure as a governor was a catastrophe. Check newspaper headlines when he was a governor.

Don't mind the ode.

They have dumped Buhari and started Tinubu.

All of a sudden, Buhari is a bad leader😂😂.

Even Festus Keyamo, Tinubu's spokesman and Minister now, once called Tinubu a certificate forger and fought to nail him.

Stop clowning.

Lmao.

Wike's type end so easily.
Where is Okorocha, Ameachi, Chimaraoke Nnamani? Rochas even sank more than this and where is he today? An IDP😂😂

Nature took care of them. Igbos have better meats to fry not psychopaths and men without integrity.


We voted massively for Peter Obi here in Rivers and we know what later turned out.

In my polling Unit, APC and PDP couldn't even score up to 10 votes. It was like a tsunami.

If the real votes Obi got in Rivers were accounted for properly, he will get more than a million votes. This isn't hearsay.

In my brother's polling unit, they stopped voting around 10pm. He was number 550 and a first time voter.

Obi swept Rivers with broom and packer.

But those who want to believe what Wike is blabbing now should never have a say whenever a coup takes place in any country.

What Wike did in Rivers was worse than a coup.

My younger sister was a Presiding officer and her account of what happened at the collation center breaks anyone. But God will judge everyone at the appointed time. Make we continue to dey support evil because of tribe or crumbs.

That is your business. Obi is not good.

E be like say na only Wike be minister for Nigeria o. He has been all over the place, he is becoming more popular than the president.

duro4chang:

Lmao it's now my business because I countered you with a living proof.

You have never supported any good leader. So I am not surprised.

From Sai Baba to Sai Tinubu.

Boy of no integrity

Lol,

Some Pple said Obi will fade away after May 29th, 🙁😄😄

He is still Making Waves Till Tomorrow!😎

That's how his Name will continue to Dominate our Airwaves
Till he becomes President, soon.😊🙂💃🕺

Wike is using Tinubu to get more popularity ..

Mr Wike, the reality on ground is that you sabotaged Obi's chances in Rivers state and INEC replicated what you did nationwide. Most Nigerians never voted for Asiwaju

K

Look at the clown talking. If not your rigging machines used against Obi the Tsunami,THIEFNIBU for still collect am, WOTO WOTO for PH, and you knew that.

Na Igbo people dey deceive thierself. Dem no see Umahi or even Ngige to present, na Obi. What are his achievements as 2-term Governor of a Small state like Anambra? Nigeria is too big for him, abeg.

Well that's his own conclusion

In my own case if them give me 30 billions to vote for Obi I will collect the money and still vote against him

I don't like what I hate

The moment i tuned to channels TV for politics today , and discovered that wike was the guest , I switched to CNN immediately.

Only mad men listen to mad men.

I'm not mad
