Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), asserted that if Peter Obi had been a better candidate in the general election on February 25, 2023, Nigerians would have supported him.
On Wednesday, Wike stated while appearing on the Politics Today program on Channels Television.
The former governor of Rivers State claimed that in the hotly contested election, he backed President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) against Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wike asserted that he no longer discusses potential presidential candidates.
However, he said,
“I don’t discuss presidential candidates any longer; I discuss the economy, the president, what he has to offer.
“If he (Obi) would have been better, Nigerians would have voted for him.”
