Coalition: Stop decieving Nigerians, you will not come back to power – Wike dares David Mark, Amaechi, others
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has criticized the Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, and opposition coalition leader Rotimi Amaechi, accusing them of misleading Nigerians.
Speaking on Friday during the commissioning of the Aguma Palace–Radio Nigeria–New Market Road in Gwagwalada, Wike dismissed the coalition’s chances of returning to power in 2027.
He urged Mark, Amaechi, and other coalition figures to present their records in office to the public instead of making empty promises. The event was part of activities marking President Bola Tinubu’s second term, with Vice President Kashim Shettima in attendance.
He said: “They said that the coalition started 18 months ago and Tinubu has been in office for two years, so you started the coalition when he was in office for just six months; 18 months ago you started the coalition, meanwhile he was in office for just six months.
“When will you stop deceiving Nigerians? You [Mark] had the opportunity to be Senate President for eight years. You [Ameachi] had opportunity to be Speaker for four years, and Minister of Transportation for eight years. He never made angry Nigerians to be happy; but people stayed in office for six months and he started telling people how Nigerians are angry.
“I have said everybody should show your scorecard. when I was a Senate President let me show my scorecard – how did I help the people of Benue State, how did I help the people of Otukpo, is it by flying a helicopter to Otukpo?
“We are here for 16 days and we are showing our scorecard and this time, it’s Operation Show Your Scorecard.
“God gave you the opportunity to be in office to make Nigerians happy according to you, but you refused; because you have left office, you are saying Nigerians are angry, because you want to return to power. You will not come back to power.”
