Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has criticised the anti-Tinubu coalition that adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Wednesday, calling them a group of ineffective and out-of-date politicians.
Wike attacked each coalition leader individually, claiming they had nothing to offer Nigerians.
He claimed that after facing opposition, Senator David Mark decided to take the position of chairman of the ADC instead of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

He said, “I heard David Mark say they want to rescue Nigeria. That Nigerians are not happy. But the man was Senate President for 8 years, and Nigerians were happy? There was no single project in Otukpo. Not one. He was flying with a helicopter to Otukpo. Nigerians were not angry then, but they are angry now?”
Calling out the coalition leaders one after the other , stated that David Mark, as leader of the PDP in his area, lost elections, as his daughter, who ran under the All Progressives Congress (APC), won to the House of Representatives.
“Amaechi was minister. He took Chinese loans and made Nigeria so indebted to China. So, Nigerians were happy then?
“When you were in power, Nigerians were happy, but the moment you are no longer in power, Nigerians are no longer happy.
“I saw Sirika. What happened to Air Nigeria? Nigerians were happy then?
“When they went to APC in 2013 and took over power, Nigerians were happy, but no longer happy today?

“Was it under Tinubu’s government that banditry came? What is he doing? To solve the problems he met.
“I read what Malami wrote. It was so shameful. He was AGF. What did he do? What was his contribution to resolving the security challenges?
“Tambuwal was Speaker for four years. What did he do to make Nigerians not be angry? He was governor for eight years. What did he do? What kind of politics are we playing?” he cautioned.
Wike went on to say that Bolaji Abdullahi, the former minister of sports, only joined the ADC after he and Senator Bukola Saraki, his godfather, had a falling out.
He claimed that if the PDP organised its house, they would be the only party left capable of challenging Tinubu today rather than a coalition.
