Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly challenged the Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, and opposition coalition chieftain, Rotimi Amaechi, accusing them of misleading Nigerians.
Speaking on Friday during the commissioning of the newly rehabilitated Aguma Palace–Radio Nigeria–New Market Road in Gwagwalada Area Council, Wike declared that the coalition led by Mark, Amaechi, and their allies would not reclaim power in the 2027 elections.
Wike criticized the coalition’s rhetoric and warned the public not to fall for what he described as deceptive tactics by opposition figures aiming for a political comeback.
The project was commissioned by Vice President Kashim Shettima, acting on behalf of President Bola Tinubu, as part of the initiatives celebrating Tinubu’s second term in office.
Seizing the opportunity, Wike challenged David Mark, Rotimi Amaechi, and other coalition leaders to present their track records and achievements from their time in office to the Nigerian people.
Wike said: “They said that the coalition started 18 months ago and Tinubu has been in office for two years, so you started the coalition when he was in office for just six months; 18 months ago you started the coalition, meanwhile he was in office for just six months.
“When will you stop deceiving Nigerians? You [Mark] had the opportunity to be Senate President for eight years. You [Ameachi] had opportunity to be Speaker for four years, and Minister of Transportation for eight years. He never made angry Nigerians to be happy; but people stayed in office for six months and he started telling people how Nigerians are angry.
“I have said everybody should show your scorecard. when I was a Senate President let me show my scorecard – how did I help the people of Benue State, how did I help the people of Otukpo, is it by flying a helicopter to Otukpo?
“We are here for 16 days and we are showing our scorecard and this time, it’s Operation Show Your Scorecard.
“God gave you the opportunity to be in office to make Nigerians happy according to you, but you refused; because you have left office, you are saying Nigerians are angry, because you want to return to power. You will not come back to power.”
