The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike has criticised former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, accusing him of lacking the courage to handle internal party conflicts
Wike made the remarks on Sunday while addressing delegates at the Peoples Democratic Party 2026 National Convention held at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja, drawing parallels between Obi’s exit from the Labour Party and recent defections of PDP governors to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
He said; “Leadership is not an easy task. Leadership requires courage. Leadership requires firmness. Leadership requires commitment.
“What you see that has happened, the faction of some governors who have left have only shown you they lack the leadership traits. I liken them to the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
“The presidential candidate of the Labour Party before wanted to be president. And they gave him a platform. And that platform was the Labour Party. When crisis came in the Labour Party, it was time it was required for him to show leadership. He ran away because he could not solve problems.
“This is to tell you those who can stand when there are crises,” he concluded.
