If Obi Is Better Than Tinubu, Nigerians Would Have Voted For Him – Woke
Wednesday August 30, 2023
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, said if the flag bearer of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, was a better candidate, Nigerians would have voted him in the February 25, 2023 poll.
Wike spoke exclusively on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.
The ex-governor of Rivers State said he supported the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the expense of Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the standard bearer of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the keenly contested poll.
When asked whether Obi would have handled the major issues confronting the Nigerian economy better than Tinubu if he had been elected, Wike said he doesn’t discuss Presidential candidates any longer.
“I don’t want to discuss social media issue,” the FCT minister said. “I don’t discuss about Presidential candidate any longer; I discuss about the economy, the President, what he has to offer.”
“If he (Obi) would have been better, Nigerians would have voted for him.”
