Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike has claimed that the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party will never emerge Nigerian President again.
Wike, who spoke yesterday during an official Thanksgiving Service for the Successful Completion of Projects Commissioning by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the St. James’ Anglican Church, Asokoro, Abuja said Peter Obi’s time has passed.
According to him, Obi’s supporters are only following emotions, stating that they barely know the former Anambra Governor.
He said, “They say Peter Obi will be President, President where? Out of emotion, most of you are just following someone you don’t know.
“For eight years, Obi was a governor but he never conducted local government election. Now he is saying that democracy is not working but it worked in his time.
“Only Obi was governor and chairman of all the local governments in Anambra State at the same time. The time has passed, he won’t have the opportunity again”.
It would be recalled that Wike had in April this year, revealed that he did not support Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election because the LP candidate “had no chance of winning”.
