Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed the presidential ambition of former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, describing it as “dead on arrival.”
Wike made the remark while reacting to Amaechi’s claim that he knows President Bola Tinubu’s “weakness.” Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the FCT Minister ridiculed the former Rivers State governor’s chances, insisting that Amaechi stands no chance of clinching the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where he is rumored to be seeking refuge.
“He knows he cannot get the ticket of the ADC. So how can such a presidential bid even take off? It is dead on arrival,” Wike declared.
The rivalry between the two former governors of Rivers State, once allies but now bitter political adversaries appears to be intensifying as 2027 draws nearer.
