You’re The Real Betrayer! – Atiku Hits Back At Wike In Explosive Rebuttal

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has slammed the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, labeling him a traitor working actively to destabilize the PDP.

Wike, during a media chat in Abuja on Friday, dismissed the credibility of recent coalition talks aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu. He claimed the initiative was driven by selfish ambitions and led by individuals more interested in power than in rebuilding the party.

Responding through his media aide, Paul Ibe, Atiku accused Wike of lacking the moral authority to speak on integrity, insisting that the former Rivers governor had betrayed the PDP by aligning himself with the ruling APC.

Speaking with Punch, Atiku criticized Wike’s role in PDP’s internal crisis and dismissed his remarks as hypocritical.

“Wike has no standing to speak about sincerity. This is someone who turned his back on the PDP and now works hand-in-hand with the APC to weaken both the party and the will of the Nigerian people. What does he know about sincerity? Absolutely nothing,” Atiku’s camp fired back.

“If Wike wants to discuss sincerity, he should first look inwards—perhaps advise his principal, Tinubu, to return from his virtual presidency and govern the country in person. Wike himself should return home and face his duties.”

Atiku further accused Wike of attempting to dominate Rivers State politics by scheming to oust the sitting governor with support from Abuja, calling such actions a betrayal of the very people he once led.

He emphasized that the coalition represents Nigerians who are genuinely committed to rescuing the country from what he described as the APC’s “reckless and clueless” governance.

“This coalition isn’t about Atiku or any one person—it’s about giving Nigerians a chance to take back their country. We are simply tools of that mission,” he added.
