Atiku, El-Rufai seeking coalition for their selfish interest – Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike has alleged that a former vice president, Atiku Abubakar and other political leaders are seeking coalition for their selfish interests.

Wike while speaking during his media chat with journalists in Abuja said several political leaders are only interested in becoming the president of Nigeria.

Citing the crisis rocking his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Wike said it is unfortunate that leaders have shied away from seeking solutions to ending the crisis and challenges experienced by the PDP as an opposition party.

Wike said, “On the other part of those who are looking for a coalition, is for selfish interests, the likes of Atiku and other people, which coalition, with whom?

“Why not come in to repair your party, Everybody wants to become president of the country, nobody wants to say, look, let me build our party so that at the end of the day, our party will be in a formidable position as an opposition party to take over power.

“You don’t do that, the only thing you want to do is, let me find a way; how I will be the one and if that does not happed; then it’s to your tent oh Israel,” the former Rivers State governor said.

Wike also lamented about the mistakes of party leaders and aspiring presidents who insist on making the same mistakes repeatedly.

He said PDP politicians cannot keep complaining of being rigged out without attempting to adopt workable political strategies.

“Who rigged you out, you already rigged yourself out by causing crisis and this is what I’ve always said but because people are not sincere to themselves and People like me would not accept that,” he added.
