Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, publicly criticized activist politician Aisha Yesufu for her failure to secure the senatorial candidacy of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) during the party's primary election. Speaking at a luncheon for candidates of the Rainbow Coalition in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Wike remarked on Yesufu's previous statements regarding government appointees, suggesting that her eloquence did not translate into electoral success. He emphasized that her inability to win the NDC primary, which he described as "ordinary," highlights the challenges faced by those who criticize from the sidelines without practical political experience. Wike's comments reflect ongoing tensions within the political landscape as candidates prepare for upcoming elections.
