Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has lampooned former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, questioning his leadership credentials and his capacity to govern Nigeria.
Speaking at at the commissioning of two newly constructed roads – ILS11 (Esther Bali Street) and MAR24 (Kez Udezue Street) – in the Mabushi area of Abuja, Wike chided Obi’s constant criticisms of government.
According to him, the former Anambra state governor lacked the credibility to lecture anyone on governance having failed as Anambra governor.
Wike further stated that Obi will continue to contest as president on social media but not as president of Nigeria.
“You run as president under a party, and you cannot manage the party, ordinary party. You cannot manage to hold a party together; it is Nigeria of over 200 million people that you want to manage? Ordinary party of how many people? Crisis.
“You can’t hold them, but you want to manage a complex nation like Nigeria. It is not available for people like you. You can know a good dancer from the first step,” Wike said.
He also accused Obi of hypocrisy, noting that while he flaunts public shows of compassion, his record in Anambra State tells a different story.
