No comparisons – Wike on his 2 years as FCT Minister, Peter Obi’s tenure in Anambra
FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has claimed that his two years in office surpass Peter Obi’s eight years as governor of Anambra State.
Speaking during the commissioning of newly constructed roads in Mabushi District, Abuja, Wike made the remark while reacting to reports that Obi donated ₦2 million to Tunga Nasara LEA Primary School.
He further criticized the former Labour Party presidential candidate, saying his failure to manage the internal crisis within his party shows he lacks the capacity to govern Nigeria.
He said: “I challenge him to come out publicly and compare what he did for 8 years in Anambra with what we have done in the FCT in just two years.
“Someone who cannot manage a political party as a presidential candidate is talking about managing a complex country like Nigeria.
“Two years and you are talking about eight years, everything must not be propaganda, as I’m the Minister of FCT, I can’t claim to know everywhere in Abuja, it’s not possible.
“If you are a responsible and good citizen, it’s not just to go to social media to think that they will love you, you will continue to contest as president of social media and not as president of Nigeria.
“You run as president under a party and you can’t manage the party, to hold the party together you can’t, it’s Nigeria of over 200 people that you want to manage, you will know a good answer from the first step. A party of how many people, there is crisis, you can’t hold them.”
