How Atiku, Obi lost to Tinubu in 2023 — Wike

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, disclosed how he and his allies undermined the presidential ambitions of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party candidate Peter Obi in the 2023 election, paving the way for President Bola Tinubu's victory. Wike explained that their strategy, which included supporting Obi to block Atiku, deprived the latter of significant support in the South, contributing to his defeat. He also expressed his support for Tinubu's re-election, stating he would be a target of political reprisals if Atiku or Obi won in 2027.
