Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has slammed former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, saying he will “continue to contest for President on social media, not in Nigeria.”
Wike spoke on Thursday during the inauguration of new roads in Mabushi, Abuja, reacting to Obi’s criticism of the poor condition of LEA Primary School, Kapwa, which Obi had described as “a national disgrace.”
Accusing Obi of politicising everything, Wike said: “It is not everything you must play politics with. One of the social media presidential candidates, Mr. Peter Obi went to a local school and started blaming the government.”
He further accused Obi of failing to develop Anambra State as governor, claiming he achieved more in two years as FCT minister than Obi did in eight years.
“You couldn’t even manage your party; it’s Nigeria of over 200 million people you want to manage? It’s not available for people like you,” Wike said.
