Wike Fires Back at Critics: “Those Who Criticized Me Have Joined APC”

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike is firing back at his critics, saying those who lashed out at him for supporting President Bola Tinubu have now joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking at the flag-off of a construction project in Abuja, Wike noted that his critics, including some governors, had previously accused him of destabilizing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and working for the APC. However, he pointed out that these same individuals are now joining the APC, which he believes validates his decision to support President Tinubu.

Wike emphasized that his support for President Tinubu has been justified by the mass defection of PDP leaders and governors to the APC. He urged his critics to commend him for “doing a good job” of paving the way for them to join the ruling party.

As a key figure in Nigerian politics, Wike’s comments have significant implications. His support for President Tinubu played a crucial role in the President’s victory in the 2023 elections, particularly in Rivers State.

Wike’s remarks have sparked a fresh wave of debate in Nigerian politics, with many wondering what the future holds for the PDP and its remaining leaders. One thing is certain, however: Nyesom Wike is a force to be reckoned with in Nigerian politics.
