The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has taken a swipe at former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi over his movement from one political party to another.
In a trending video shared by News Central, Wike claimed that he was responsible for driving Obi out of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and into the Labour Party (LP).

According to Wike, when the Labour Party began experiencing internal crises, Obi moved to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). He further claimed that after it became clear that Obi would not secure the ADC presidential ticket, he moved to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
Mocking the former Anambra State governor, Wike suggested that Obi's frequent movement between political parties showed that he was always ready to run whenever he encountered difficulties.
He went further to suggest that if Obi became president and Nigeria got into a conflict with Cameroon, he would be the first to flee the country.
Wike also dismissed Obi's presidential ambition, saying that he could only become president on social media.
In his words:
"I chased Peter Obi from PDP, he ran to Labour Party, LP had problems, he ran away to ADC, ADC didn’t give him ticket, he ran away again. One day if we have problems with Cameroon, he’ll run away from Nigeria. If it’s time to contest for social media president, vote for him."
His remarks have since attracted attention online, particularly because of the political exchanges surrounding Obi's recent party movements and his presidential ambition.
