Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has labelled the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential ticket of Atiku Abubakar and former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, a joint ticket of corruption.
Wike launched the blistering attack on Monday at a town hall
interactive meeting with the Rumueme and Apara kingdoms in Obio-Akpor Local
Government Area of Rivers State.
He said the coalition did not stand any chance of securing
the mandatory 25% constitutional vote share in Rivers State.
The former Rivers State governor recalled the verdict former
President Olusegun Obasanjo passed on Atiku.
According to him, Atiku cannot lay claim to moral integrity,
having a monumental corruption baggage that was laid bare by his former boss.
Speaking on Atiku’s running mate, Amaechi, Wike said his
inclusion only worsened an already morally bankrupt ticket.
“When I saw Atiku on television yesterday, asking Nigerians
to take any money given to them by people from the party in power, saying that
it will be stolen money, I said, ‘Haa, Atiku is now an apostle of
anti-corruption? ADC’s Atiku-Amaechi ticket is a joint ticket of corruption.
“The same Atiku whose boss described him as corrupt and said
one of his major regrets was making him vice president is talking,” Wike said.
