FCT Minister Nyesom Wike said he will continue to frustrate the efforts of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the party in 2023, and other factions opposed to him.

He also mentioned that he would be a problem for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi.

Wike made these comments at an event he organized for the members of the 10th Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to him, where he reiterated his support for President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking at the event, Wike said Nigerians had rejected Atiku and mocked him for losing the 2023 presidential election.

“If you say for an election we did not contest, never participated in, that it shows Nigerians have rejected us, fine. You that contested and failed woefully, Nigerians have rejected you; so, pack up and go home.”

Wike said: “All these things you are seeing by Atiku’s group, Peter Obi’s group, and some PDP governors that believe that I am a problem to them. And I will continue to be a problem to them.

“In fact, the Atiku’s group believes that my team and I stopped them from becoming president. We stopped injustice. What we wanted was equity, fairness, and justice,” Wike said.

The former Rivers State governor also declared that he has no regret in supporting and ensuring the emergence of Tinubu as president.

“In fact, most of you do not understand the fight that is going on. Do you think it is these people here? No.

“Let me tell you what is going on; I have no regret at all, and we have no regret at all for supporting President Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. I have no regret about it.”

These statements were made in response to Atiku's claim that Wike remains bitter after his defeat in the 2022 presidential primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Obi's spokesman, Dr. Tanko Yunusa, stated that Obi and his media team will not dignify Wike with a response.

Wike emphasized that Atiku's supporters believed he hindered his presidential ambition, but he was only seeking fairness, justice, and equity.
