“I have no regret at all for supporting President Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,” Wike declared, claiming that his backing of President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 elections was totally justifiable. Vanguard reported that Wike said Atiku’s group saw him as a barrier to their political goals, highlighting his quest for “equity, fairness, and justice.”
He also criticized Rivers State Governor Siminalyi Fubara, labeling him an ingrate for disrespecting prominent elder statesmen, including former Nigerian Bar Association President OCJ Okocha and traditional ruler King Sergeant Awuse.
Wike referred to these individuals as the “Three Wise Men” who played a significant role in Fubara’s election.
In response to Wike’s remarks, Atiku’s spokesperson, Paul Ibe, dismissed them as lacking substance and driven by personal grievances.
Ibe suggested that Wike was more focused on his political conflicts than on the welfare of Nigerians, highlighting a growing rift within the PDP.
