The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has stated that Nigerians like people who deceive them, stressing that former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, is just pretending to be humble.
Speaking in Edo State on Tuesday, Wike, a former Governor of Rivers State, cautioned Nigerians against being deceived that Obi is humble because he was seen serving food.
According to Wike: “This is not where a presidential candidate will be carrying food to serve, no – this is pretense. How long will he be serving the food?
“As a presidential candidate to carry food and be serving and Nigerians are laughing? Saying he is humble.
“Who told you that is humility? Who told you that? And you people gave audience to that kind of thing.
“And somebody will be telling you as a presidential candidate, when I win I will use a commercial plane and you think he is telling you the truth? Which security will allow you?
“We must tell ourselves the simple truth, Nigerians you like people who will play you wayo, you don’t like people who will tell you the simple truth.
“When he was governor, was he serving food? Now because elections are coming I want to serve if you like go and listen to him.”
