Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has slammed the former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
Naijaonpoint recalls that Tambuwal, in a recent interview, declared loyalty to Atiku over Wike, despite his friendship with the latter.
Tambuwal insisted his choices were guided by governance values rather than friendship.
He said, “When it comes to leadership of this country and leadership of the people, I would rather support Atiku than Nyesom Wike.”
In response, Wike, while featuring on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme on Thursday night, said both Tambuwal and Atiku are consistent betrayers.
According to him, Tambuwal’s loyalty lies with Atiku, stressing that “There’s no way Tambuwal would go without Atiku, knowing full well their antecedents.”
He added, “I have never come out on national television to talk about Aminu Tambuwal, but this is an opportunity to talk about him.
“When you talk about leadership and friendship, you can’t talk about leadership and you don’t talk about the person.
“Tambuwal and Atiku. These are people who have been consistently inconsistent, betrayers. Birds of the same feather flock together. There’s no way Tambuwal would go without Atiku, knowing full well their antecedents.”
