The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is untrustworthy.
Naija News reports that Wike, speaking during the unveiling of candidates supported by the Rainbow Coalition in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, said he was one of Atiku’s biggest sponsors in the 2019 general elections, and ran alongside him in the 2022 presidential primaries.
According to Wike, people should pray never to know Atiku because his word cannot be taken seriously.
He said, “I was one of Atiku’s biggest sponsors in 2019. I ran with him in the 2022 presidential primaries.
“I pray you never know him. He’s not a man whose word you can take to the bank.”
Recall that the relationship between Atiku and Wike soured after the 2022 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primary, where both men contested, and the former Vice President won the party’s ticket.
