Atiku Mocks Wike’s Silence On Tinubu’s ‘Villa WhatsApp Group’

Atiku Abubakar condemns Nyesom Wike as a traitor, accusing him of betraying the PDP and collaborating with the APC to undermine the party’s goals and the people’s interests.

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, as a traitor. He accused Wike of working to undermine the PDP and its interests. He particularly chided the PDP chief of keeping silence to what he described as President Bola Tinubu’s use of a WhatsApp group to govern Nigeria from Europe.

Wike had during a media chat in Abuja criticized efforts to form a coalition aimed at removing President Bola Tinubu. He labeled the coalition discussions as insincere, claiming they were driven by selfish motives instead of genuine concern.

Atiku, in response through his media aide Paul Ibe, rejected Wike’s claims. He stated that Wike had no moral authority to discuss integrity, accusing him of betraying the PDP. Speaking to Punch, Atiku argued that the coalition was made up of sincere Nigerians who were committed to ending the APC’s style of governance. He said, “Wike is not in a position to talk about sincerity. This is a man who betrayed his party, a man working with the APC to destroy and undermine his own party and the interests of Nigerians. So, what does he know about sincerity? Nothing.”

Atiku went on to challenge Wike, saying that if he wanted to talk about sincerity, he should address President Tinubu, whom he accused of being an absentee leader. “If he wants to speak on sincerity, let him talk to his principal, Tinubu, an absentee President running government from the Presidential Villa’s WhatsApp group,” Atiku remarked.

Atiku also criticized Wike for allegedly working against the government in Rivers State, where Wike had once served as governor. He claimed that Wike was trying to gain absolute control of the Rivers state government by collaborating with Abuja to have the current governor suspended. Atiku said, “Wike is working against his own state where he was once governor.”

Finally, Atiku emphasized that the coalition was a collective effort by Nigerians determined to end the current APC government. “The sincere Nigerians are determined to end the reckless, irresponsible, clueless APC government. Nigerians want to reclaim their country. The coalition presents Nigerians with a vehicle. Atiku Abubakar and others who are involved in it are just tools to an end. This is about Nigeria,” Atiku concluded.
