Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has stated that the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will never become Nigeria’s president.

Wike made the statement on Sunday during a thanksgiving service held at St. James’ Anglican Church, Asokoro, Abuja, in honour of the successful completion of project commissioning by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

While addressing the congregation, Wike said Obi’s time had passed and dismissed the possibility of his emergence as president in the future.


Wike said, “They say Peter Obi will be President, President where? Out of emotion, most of you are just following someone you don’t know".


He also accused Obi of not conducting any local government elections while he was the governor of Anambra State for eight years.


“For eight years, Obi was a governor but he never conducted local government elections. Now he is saying that democracy is not working but it worked in his time.

“Only Obi was governor and chairman of all the local governments in Anambra State at the same time. The time has passed, he won’t have the opportunity again”.

The remarks come shortly after Obi, who is part of the opposition coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), expressed willingness to serve a single term as president if the coalition’s agreement requires it.

There are clear videos of Peter Obi swearing-in Local Government chairmen. APC should focus on their failures of more than 10 years...the fear is too much

This wike has very bad mouth...

And knows how to deliver a Good K.O.

He says the truth most times though. Abi he lie?

CoronaVirusPro:
That’s a fact!

Anambra state people can attest to that!

He looted LGA funds for 8 years and wired to offshore account.

Even His Excellency, Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo CONFIRMED how poverty grew under the administration of Peter Obi.

LGA funds that were to be channeled to grass-root projects to alleviate poverty were looted for 8 good years..

Within same 8 years, several local government infrastructure’s decayed and poverty alleviation schemes closed which were major reasons to the rise in poverty rate.

Statistics even has it that, during same period, the rate of suicide spiked due to state economic woes and some people are still celebrating the scam in 2025.

Na envy go kill Wike, too much hate, anger and vindictiveness has eating into him that made him a drunkard.

Not when he encountered Deji Adeyanju, Dino Melaye, Sowore, VDM, Aisha Yesufu, Dave Umahi and Chidi Odinkalu.

Wike is like a bully who loves to attack soft targets, quiet people.

When he meets people who are well spoken, outspoken and loquacious and have substance in the head,,

He tucks in his tail.

shaboti:
if after 8 years, this is all you have on him (assuming this is even true).. then he is 1000 times a better leader, politician and all-round human than you and your ilk.

Which other Nigerian politician can this be said of??

Putindbutt:
You funny o, Wike get levels na. How can Wike be replying inconsequential people, na Lere Olayinka dey flog those ones na 😂

adekolaelect:
Did Peter Obi conducted lg election or not? Then we can move to another side of those politicians. I know all of them are the same thing but it is better Nigerians vote Tinubu out in annoyance but this doesn't mean those we are voting for aside Tinubu are the best or Saints .
