Wike to Amaechi, Obi: You’re deceiving Nigerians
AI Summary
Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike accused prominent politicians linked to the African Democratic Congress of misleading Nigerians through campaign theatrics. In a media briefing in Abuja, Wike singled out former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Anambra Governor Peter Obi, and former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, alleging they use populist gestures such as buying corn or holding birthday events at IDP camps to gain sympathy. He questioned the authenticity of these actions, suggesting they are intended to deceive poorer voters. The remarks come ahead of the 2027 general elections and may influence public perception of the accused figures.
