Consistently Inconsistent’: Wike Fires Back At Tambuwal Over Loyalty To Atiku

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has fired back at former Sokoto governor Aminu Tambuwal.

Wike spoke on Thursday during an appearance on Channels TV’s Politics Today programme.

“What do you mean by leadership and friendship? You cannot talk about leadership and ignore the person,” Wike said.

He accused Tambuwal and Atiku Abubakar of political inconsistency, saying “These are people who have been consistently inconsistent. When you are a consistent betrayer, what do you expect?”

Wike alleged that Tambuwal had his eyes on a Senate role if Atiku won the presidency. He said both men frequently switched political parties for personal gain.

Earlier in September, Tambuwal, appearing on the same programme, declared loyalty to Atiku over Wike.

“When it comes to leadership of this country and leadership of the people, I would rather support Atiku than Nyesom Wike,” he said.

Tambuwal insisted his choices were guided by governance values rather than friendship.
