Reject Them Now! – Wike Urges Nigerians to Turn Their Backs on ADC Coalition”

Published

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has urged Nigerians to reject the emerging coalition under the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing its members as “naysayers and unpatriotic elements.”....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to Wike, the coalition’s sole ambition is to wrest power from President Bola Tinubu in 2027, despite having “no tangible record of achievement” from the various elective offices many of them have previously occupied.

He argued that President Tinubu, since assuming office, has taken “painful but necessary decisions” that are already beginning to reposition Nigeria for long-term prosperity.

Wike made these remarks on Saturday during the 35th Combined Convocation and 50th Anniversary of the University of Port Harcourt, held at the campus in Choba, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State. The institution had earlier conferred on him an Honorary Doctor of Science degree in Political Science.

The minister accused members of the coalition of spreading lies and hatred to discredit the Tinubu administration ahead of the 2027 elections. He, however, noted that some of the government’s policies are already yielding positive results, citing the gradual reduction in fuel prices as an example.

He called on Nigerians to rally behind President Tinubu, who is also the Visitor to the University of Port Harcourt, in recognition of his “unwavering and undiluted commitment” to the nation’s socio-economic wellbeing.

Wike highlighted the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, pointing to initiatives such as the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, which he said would soon ensure that no child is denied access to quality education due to financial hardship.

“Our country is undoubtedly on a path of positive ascendency,” Wike said. “Very soon, the impact will be visible even to the blind and obvious even to the cynically minded.”

On the coalition, he warned Nigerians:
“We must resist the purveyors of lies, hate and division who seek to destroy our country. These men and women who converge under the so‑called coalition are merely fighting for relevance and power. If you look closely at their records, you will see they have spent decades in public office with nothing concrete to show in building a truly enduring nation.

“In just two years of this administration, they are already plotting to pull it down instead of joining efforts to rebuild our battered country—one which many of them actively damaged during their own time in power. We know these naysayers. I urge you to reject them and their unpatriotic drumbeats of division and propaganda.”

Wike also reflected on his personal connection to the University of Port Harcourt, noting that his consistent support for the institution—both as governor and now as minister—was inspired by the positive impact the university had on him as an alumnus.

“I have always believed that every alumnus should give back as a mark of gratitude,” he said. “This is why I have always supported this institution whenever the opportunity arose.”

He recalled that, despite the university’s establishment in 1975, it had no Faculty of Law until his tenure as Minister of State for Education:
“When I assumed office, I saw the need to create a Faculty of Law. I didn’t stop there—I insisted on a befitting Faculty of Law building. Today, I am glad that both have become a reality.”

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
