FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike made a subtle remark about a politician, widely believed to be Peter Obi, during the commissioning of the Kugbo Bus and Taxi Terminal in Abuja on June 26.
Wike recalled his time in the PDP and a visit to Anambra State, where they were served Cristal Brut, an expensive champagne. Many believe Wike’s comment was a jab at Peter Obi, known for highlighting his austere lifestyle. Obi had previously mentioned wearing the same wristwatch for 17 years and owning only two pairs of black shoes.
Wike’s remark seems to contrast with Obi’s humble lifestyle claims, sparking speculation about the motivation behind his comment.
The comment has sparked speculation about the relationship between Wike and Obi, as well as their differing lifestyles.
“I will tell you something. When PDP had no problem, we went to Anambra state for a gubernatorial campaign and when we finished that campaign, we went to somebody’s house. I just sat down. Come and see the best of drinks, this and that. So, I called him, I said you are providing cristal champagne here but every day, you tell people that you wear only one shoe, you carry your own bag, only you. But look at champagne here. Not just champagne, cristal.
Why do we deceive Nigerians? Why can’t we tell ourselves the simple truth?What you preach is not what you practice. And you know, we like to hear such things but that is being deceitful.
And these are the kind of things that I tell Nigerians, look, don’t allow people to deceive you. People who are preaching that they care for you, they don’t care for you, they don’t think about you. They only try to use you to climb”.
