\"Obi<\/p>\n

Says, Atiku won\u2019t get 25% across South<\/em><\/p>\n

By Omeiza Ajayi, Abuja<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress NDC, Mr Peter Obi, prefers \u201canywhere food is ready politics\u201d.<\/p>\n

Wike spoke on Tuesday when he met youth stakeholders in the FCT to campaign for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in the January presidential election.<\/p>\n

\u201cObi is not going anywhere. Don\u2019t deceive yourself. If he likes, let him enter the motorcycle and carry everybody at the back; he is not going anywhere,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n

He mocked Obi\u2019s visits to camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs). \u201d He goes to IDP camp to do birthdays. When he was governor, did he do that? No. Very soon, they will start going along the trees, buying and chewing corn.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe prefers anywhere Mama Put is ready for politics. He doesn\u2019t want to struggle. Small fight, he ran away from the PDP. He did the same in the Labour Party, and now he is in NDC. But, as for me, I am not afraid of fighting. They have now run away from the PDP, and I am still in the party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The minister also dismissed the chances of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress ADC presidential candidate. \u201cAtiku won\u2019t get 25 per cent in South South, South East and South West. Where will he get it?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

He urged the youths to do more than vote for Tinubu. \u201cPlease, I beg of you, not to just come out to vote, not to just endorse this president here, mobilise all your colleagues, even those who are not part of your association, reach out to them, and get everybody to come out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not a member of the All Progressives Congress. You don\u2019t need to be an APC member or a Peoples Democratic Party PDP member for you to contribute to the development of your country. All you need to do is to work according to the vision of the person who has appointed you. Let\u2019s not put our destiny in the hands of political gamblers who have been gambling for over 22 years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Wike reminded the youths of the record of earlier administrations on their welfare and that of women in the FCT. \u201cAtiku Abubakar was vice president from 1999 to 2007. Is it not correct? Correct. Was there any establishment of a youth secretariat? No. Was there any establishment of a women\u2019s secretariat? No. From 1976 to 2023, nobody cared,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He said Tinubu changed that within a year of taking office. \u201cGo and make sure there is a youth secretary. Go and make sure there\u2019s a woman secretary,\u201d he quoted the president as directing.<\/p>\n

He urged the youths to ignore showmanship. \u201cLeave all these rhetorics; leave all this drama. These are cosmetic. Let us face the reality on the ground. That is what matters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
