Wike is playing politics with Nigerians’ suffering —Atiku’s spokesman

Media Adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, has hit out at ex-Rivers State Governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, alleging that he is playing politics with the suffering Nigerians are going through by making baseless rants and theatrical outbursts driven by personal grievances.

Ibe who was reacting to Wike’s remarks that Nigerians have rejected Atiku because he is a serial election loser, said Wike harboured lingering symptom of the bitterness from his defeat to Atiku at the 2022 party presidential primaries.

Wike, who spoke on Saturday at a luncheon he organised in honour of the 10th Legislative Assembly of Rivers State, said Nigerians have rejected Atiku having lost successive presidential elections in 2019 and 2023.
