Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has dismissed the possibility of Peter Obi ever becoming Nigeria’s president, declaring that the former Anambra State governor’s political moment is over.
Speaking on Sunday, July 6, 2025, at a thanksgiving service marking the completion of new projects in Abuja, Wike took aim at the ADC-backed opposition coalition and its key figure, Peter Obi.
“Peter Obi can never be president again; his time has passed,” Wike said.
“Now he says democracy is no longer working. But when he was governor of Anambra, democracy was working,” Wike added, ridiculing what he called Obi’s shifting stance.
