In a heated exchange of political barbs, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has taken aim at former Transportation Minister Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi for his recent criticism of President Bola Tinubu.
During a political gathering in Abuja, Wike challenged Amaechi’s commitment to the Southeast, accusing him of being hypocritical.
You claim to love the Igbos, but when it really counted, you didn’t stand by their son, Peter Obi. Instead, you chose to support Atiku. How does that demonstrate love?” Wike pointedly questioned.
This sharp retort comes on the heels of Amaechi’s viral interview where he stated:
“I told President Tinubu in Yola that I won’t work for or vote for him because I believe there’s a capacity issue.”
Wike’s response has reignited discussions about political loyalty, ethnic identity, and the choices made in the 2023 elections — especially as both figures continue to clash over Nigeria’s leadership path.
The exchange has taken social media by storm, with many Nigerians pondering: Was Amaechi’s stance genuinely about capacity — or was it a calculated political move?
