‘President Where? Your Time Has Passed’, Wike Blasts Obi

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has launched a scathing criticism of former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, accusing him of democratic double standards and declaring that his time in Nigerian politics has come and gone.

Speaking during a thanksgiving service held in Abuja on Sunday, Wike questioned the democratic credentials of Obi, particularly his alleged refusal to conduct local government elections throughout his eight-year tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Some of you said Peter Obi will be president. President where?” Wike asked pointedly, drawing murmurs from the congregation.

“You don’t know somebody; you just act out of emotion,” he said.

Wike, who served two terms as governor of Rivers State, said Obi’s failure to conduct local government elections while in office undermined the very democratic principles he now claims to defend.

“For eight years he was governor, he never conducted local government elections,” Wike stated.

“And Nigerians were not angry, and were happy. You refuse to conduct LG elections eight good years. That is not democracy. Only you—governor for all the LGs.”

He further accused Obi of hypocrisy, suggesting that his recent criticisms of Nigeria’s democratic system stem from his exclusion from power rather than genuine concern for governance.

“He’s now saying that democracy is no longer working in Nigeria because he’s no longer in power,” Wike said.

“But when he was governor of Anambra, democracy was working. It worked under you in Anambra—your state alone. To be chairman of LG, to be governor, only one man.”

The minister dismissed any suggestion of a political comeback for Obi, saying flatly: “The time has passed and you won’t have the opportunity again.”

Wike’s comments come amid rising political tensions and debates about the state of democracy in Nigeria, particularly following the 2023 general elections and mounting concerns about governance, accountability, and inclusion.
