Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), has taken a swipe at coalition leaders, describing them as opportunists who are only interested in “rescuing their stomach” and not Nigerians.
Speaking during a thanksgiving service in Abuja on Sunday, Wike described the coalition as a political group with no consistent ideology or commitment to genuine national transformation.
The former Rivers State Governor noted that many coalition leaders failed to produce meaningful results while in office, suggesting that their recent actions show they can’t stay out of power for long.
“In 1999, you were at this party. In 2006, you were in another party. In 2014, you moved to another party. In 2019, you came back to another party. Now, in 2025, you have moved to another party, ” Wike said.,
“To rescue who? You want to rescue your stomach. It’s not Nigerians you want to rescue.
It would be recalled that opposition politicians adopted the African Democratic Congress, ADC, as their platform to challenge President Tinubu in 2027.
Members of the coalition include former Senate President David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola, ex-minister of interior, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in 2023.,
Others are Aminu Tambuwal, former governor of Sokoto, Rotimi Amaechi, former minister of transportation, Solomon Dalung, former minister of sports, and Odigie Oyegun, former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, .
