Former Governor of Rivers State and the incumbent Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dared leaders of the coalition movement to present their scorecards when they were in position.
Wike, who addressed journalists during his monthly media briefing at his official residence in Abuja on Thursday, cautioned the newly formed opposition coalition to refrain from using Nigerians for their personal gain.
Naijaonpoint reports that top political leaders across parties met on Wednesday to adopt the African Democratic Party (ADC) as their political platform.
Wike, however, asserted that their move was not in the interest of Nigerians.
“Because you have issues with someone, you say Nigerians are angry and then you go ahead and form a coalition. Please let’s take the issues of Nigeria seriously.
“I challenge all of them to show their scorecards. When they were at the helm of affairs, what did they do to better the country?” the FCT Minister asked.
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, has stated that the decision of some chieftains of the opposition party to defect is a prophecy fulfilled.
According to him, many politicians have decided to leave the PDP for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Minister, Nyesom Wike, who is serving in the All Progressives Congress (APC) government.
Naijaonpoint reports Momodu made this submission on Thursday when asked on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily if he was leaving the PDP amidst the internal crisis rocking the party.
“Without any doubt, people are leaving the carcass of PDP to Wike and his cronies, that’s all. It was a prophecy foretold,” Momodu said.
He alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is sending moles to the opposition parties in order to weaken competition in the 2027 election.
“The ruling party does not want competition in 2027, so what they are doing now is to send their moles into any major formidable party,” he said.
