The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, describing him as a perennial contender in Nigeria’s presidential elections without tangible success. Wike suggested that despite any public declarations to step away from future races, Atiku is likely to return to the political arena and contest again in 2031.
The remarks highlight ongoing tensions within Nigeria’s political landscape, as key figures continue to trade barbs over past elections and future ambitions.
