Wike Boasts Of Helping APC Use Judiciary To Kill Osun LG Funds Case, Warns Party Leaders Against Ingratitude

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly boasted that he assisted certain elements within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in deploying the judiciary to frustrate the Osun State local government allocation lawsuit.

In a video now circulating widely on social media and obtained by SaharaReporters, Wike made the claim while addressing a crowd in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The former Rivers governor accused the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, of benefitting from judicial actions against the Osun State Government without knowing those who did the work behind the scenes.

The suit in question led to the withholding of local government funds in Osun State, a development widely seen as targeting the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as opposition in the state.

Wike, who spoke angrily, suggested that the court action supporting the APC’s position against the Osun government did not happen by chance, boasting that powerful political forces worked quietly to ensure the outcome.

“Don’t take our support for Mr President for granted,” Wike warned, in an apparent message to APC leaders defending Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. “You have to be careful about the statements you make. You have to be very careful.”

He accused Basiru of political ingratitude, claiming the APC was enjoying in Osun State without understanding who engineered their advantage.

“Today, you are enjoying in Osun. You don’t know those who did the work,” Wike said. “You are opening your mouth to talk about Rivers State.”

Nothing concern me. I'm not gonna put the next four years of my life in the hands of thieves.

Una never see anything.

Racoon:
No person with a sound conscience needs VDM to know this solemn reality. This is what every sane citizen that has felt the evil of these wicked men and women in the past 11 years should do

Memphis357:
Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the new definition of failure, according to Oxford's dictionary

buygala:
When he is sworn in for a 2nd term, conduct a coup and remove him

I detest Tinubu and his government...But as it stands, only death can stop him from a 2nd term...

Atiku, Obi and Jonathan are all working against themselves to split their votes, leaving Tinubu to coast to victory

Is there any other organized political party that is not a congregation of disgruntled the APC & the Pdp members?

Same people, different clothing.

QuinQ:
You'd have had a point if everyone didn't know the contest is between Tinubu vs. OK. Anybody who votes for Atiku or any other person would not have voted for NDC. So they're not taking away any votes

LagosOrigin:
Who be the "We"

Dem supposed exchange you with those kidnapped school children

TONYE001:
Wetin Peter Obi do you na? Thread has nothing to do with him.

Na him be the only opposition?

Haba.

This is pure intimidation and fear.

Focus on your candidate and leave Peter Obi alone.

If the thread is about him, we go understand. But a thread discussing VDM and APC, how PO carry enter?

Why not Amaechi, or Atiku, or others?

fredoooooo:
We go vote APC vote Tinubu .. na our choice feel free to vote whoever you like
