I Knew Obi Won’t Win, His Supporters Don’t Know Politics – Wike Roasts ‘Obidients’
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), asserted that the backers of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, lack a deep understanding of politics.
The former Governor of Rivers State made this statement during an interview on Channels TV on Thursday, following the confirmation of President Bola Tinubu’s triumph in the February 2023 presidential election by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
He said: “I know that he [Obi] won’t win the election.
”Let me tell you the truth, I am a realist.
“For me, the way the election went, it was a tough election.
“I give it to INEC.
“Yes, as a young man, people would have preferred that he won but look at how the votes went.
“There is this generational change, the young people were tired.
“So, for them, the only hope they had was to vote for Obi as a younger person compared to other candidates.
“But unknown to them, that is not the reality of Nigerian politics.
“They didn’t take into cognisance that ethnicity is a factor.
“They didn’t take into cognisance that religion is a factor, not only competence; that is the reality of Nigerian politics.”
