Read Time:1 Minute, 59 Second
Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike delved into the intricacies of his strained political alliance with his former mentor, Dr. Peter Odili, during a recent television interview, shedding light on the underlying reasons for their falling out. Wike candidly acknowledged that there exists a palpable divergence in political ideologies between himself and Odili, elucidating, “There are some political differences.”
In explicating the rift further, Wike articulated, “As it is today, politically, we don’t have a good relationship. We don’t work together. There are some political differences.” However, despite this schism, Wike maintained a stance of respect and reverence towards Odili, affirming that the former governor remains a figure of leadership in his eyes, notwithstanding their disparate political trajectories.
The narrative took a contentious turn as Wike rebuffed the support garnered by certain leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Governor Siminalayi Fubara, portraying them as “political vampires” with ulterior motives aimed at draining the resources of the state. Notably, prominent figures such as Abiye Sekibo, Uche Secondus, Celestine Omehia, and Austin Opara, erstwhile stalwarts of the PDP, voiced their allegiance to Fubara, prompting Wike to denounce them as “expired politicians” undeserving of the title “elder statesmen”.
Wike Delved Into The Intricacies Of His Strained Political Alliance: Questions Integrity of PDP Leaders’ Allegiance Shift as he Slams Hypocrisy in Politics
In a fervent defense of his actions, Wike emphasized the imperative of integrity in defining the stature of elder statesmen, questioning the credibility of those who sway allegiance with the political winds. He underscored the irony inherent in their newfound support for Fubara, juxtaposing their past reluctance with their present endorsement, thereby calling into question their integrity and consistency.
Drawing parallels to the political landscape, Wike elucidated on the shifting dynamics, highlighting the hypocrisy of those who once vilified Governor Fubara now rallying behind him. He scrutinized their past actions, pointing out their attempts to discredit Fubara and undermine his leadership within the party, juxtaposed against their current advocacy for his cause.
In a parting shot, Wike castigated the hypocrisy of those who wielded power in the past, yet failed to deliver tangible benefits to their constituents. He derided their opportunistic alliances and urged Nigerians to scrutinize their track record before lending them their support, branding their endorsements of other political figures, notably Tinubu, as a testament to their self-serving agendas.
