The comments made by Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), about Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), have sparked various reactions.
Wike stated in an interview that Obi was not a better candidate than President Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.
He argued that if Obi were a better candidate, Nigerians would have voted for him in the previous election.
Social media users had mixed responses to Wike’s comments, with some criticizing him for his remarks and others praising him for standing up to his party and supporting President Tinubu.

This further fueled the reactions on social media, with some condemning Wike’s actions and others speculating about his political future.

But Fraudfessor Yakubu decided to announce Thiefnubu, the drug lord by 4 a.m. The judiciary must, therefore, quickly restore the mandate to the right owner.”
