Wike Challenges ADC Leaders to Show Scorecard Ahead of 2027 Elections 
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has threatened to use his powers to punish those against him.

Wike issued the threat while saying that politicians struggle for power because it is not “dashed” as a gift.

Speaking during his thank you tour to Obio/Akpor LGA of Rivers State on Sunday, Wike said that United States President, Donald Trump, captured his Venezuelan counterpart because of the power he had.

“Power is not dashed, you struggle for it. If Donald Trump doesn’t have power he would not go to Venezuela to pick up the President.

“Can a local government area that produced 5,000 votes challenge a local government that produces 40 percent of the votes? We will use our strength to punish people,” he said.

Wike’s threat comes amid his renewed hostilities between him and his successor, Governor Sim Fubara.
