Paul Ibe, spokesperson for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has lashed out at FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over alleged land allocation to his children and recent remarks made in church.
In a statement shared via Facebook on Sunday, Ibe mocked Wike for turning the pulpit of an Anglican Church in Asokoro, Abuja, into a stage for “partisan rhetoric.”
He described the minister as “liquor-loving” and accused him of desecrating a place of worship with political propaganda.
Quoting John 2:16, Ibe criticized Wike’s alleged use of his office for personal gain, particularly in the controversial allocation of prime Abuja lands to his sons, likening it to feudal-style governance disguised as public service.
The attack followed Wike’s comments during the church service, where he dismissed the opposition coalition’s adoption of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), as a desperate move to oust President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
