2027: Atiku, Amaechi Have No Moral Standing to Lead Nigeria – Wike Claims

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has
stated that the view of former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Atiku Abubakar and
the ambition of Rotimi Amaechi raises questions over the credibility of the
African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential ticket.

 

Wike spoke on Thursday throughout a Rainbow Coalition assembly in
Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State, the place he questioned Atiku’s
document as Vice President.

He stated Atiku, who served from 1999 to 2007, was a really
highly effective Vice President accountable for privatisation and authorities corporations.

“Can anyone inform me, do you see the influence of Atiku
Abubakar? No!” Wike queried.

He recalled that Obasanjo himself described Atiku as corrupt
and stated one among his main regrets was making him Vice President.

According to him, with such baggage, Atiku can now not
declare ethical integrity, particularly after asking Nigerians to gather cash from
the ruling occasion.

“When I noticed Atiku on tv, asking Nigerians to
take any cash given to them by individuals from the occasion in energy, that it will likely be
stolen cash, I stated haa, Atiku is now an apostle of anti-corruption?”
Wike stated.

The former Rivers State governor added that Amaechi’s entry
into the ADC has solely difficult the occasion’s presidential ticket, describing
the Atiku-Amaechi ticket as a “joint ticket of corruption” that
can not get 25 p.c votes in Rivers State.
