Former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has mocked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over their dispute with Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

In an attempt to ridicule the opposition party, Oshimhole expressed his gratitude to the PDP for giving Nyesom Wike the opportunity to serve under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Recall that due to internal conflicts in the PDP, Wike publicly declared his support for Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.

As a result, Tinubu, winning the polls, rewarded Wike with a ministerial appointment. Wike has since proven himself capable in the role.

The former President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, said, “Thank you to PDP for giving us Nyesom Wike to help us fix Abuja. I don’t belong to any club; I only belong to Bendel Insurance, but I listen to those who say they are Manchester United fans [and the likes].

“When you are giving your best player to another club, you pay heavily,” the lawmaker representing Edo North said on Friday at a New Year luncheon organised by Wike in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

“Thank you for what you’re helping us in APC to do. PDP Rivers led you to us without saying we should pay a transfer fee. We may not be happy to return you; we would even create a toll gate to prevent that.

“Tonight, we are celebrating a Nigerian who is adding value to the FCT, who is showing there has to be the rule of law and that we must respect certain environmental laws.

“So, thank you for what you are doing in Nigeria; thank you for what you are doing in Abuja.”
