Tinubu: Lunatic can never preside over Nigeria - Wike attacks Amaechi - Daily Post Nigeria

Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, called Rotimi Amaechi, the ADC vice-presidential candidate, a 'bloody thief' and 'lunatic', stating he will never lead Nigeria. Wike responded to Amaechi's remark that 'only thieves and mad people' would vote for Tinubu by questioning his mental stability and criticizing his hypocrisy.
