Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barrister Nyesom Wike, has advised former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to relocate to Adamawa as Nigerians have dumped him for good.
Wike took a swipe at Atiku at a luncheon honouring loyal members of the Rivers State Assembly in Port Harcourt.
The development comes after Atiku ridiculed him over the recent local government elections in Rivers State, where the Action Peoples Party (APP) secured 22 out of 23 local government chairmanship posts.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, which is backed by Wike, backed out of the election.
In retaliation, Wike said on Saturday, “We never contested local government elections. Did we contest? Did we pick form? I hear Atiku Abubakar say, ‘Oh they have rejected me in Rivers State. Okay, assuming though not conceding, he had lost so many times, Nigerians have also rejected him.”
“If you say for an election we did not contest; never participated that shows Nigerians have rejected us, it is okay. You that contested and failed woefully, Nigerians have rejected you, therefore pack and go home.”
