The Digest:
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has described former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as a "serial contestant and loser," predicting he will still run for president in 2031. Reacting to Atiku's Arise TV interview, where he said 2027 will be his last shot, Wike said: "Atiku is a serial failure. I am sure that in 2031, he will still contest." He challenged Atiku to compare the FCT today with what it was during his time as vice-president.
Key Points:
- Atiku has run for president six times, appearing on the ballot three times (2007, 2019, 2023).
- Wike said Tinubu's administration would not be distracted by "political attacks."
- He called Atiku dishonest in his assessment of the Tinubu government.
- Atiku had described Tinubu as "the worst leader in the nation's history."
- Wike's comments add to the growing war of words between the camps.
