A television anchor with Arise TV, who served as aide to former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Reuben Abati, has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, as rude.

Abati’s remarks come a day after the FCT Minister referred to a former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, as a politician who is hungry for power.

“Now that they are out of power, they say they are hungry. It’s not hunger for food. It’s hunger for power,” Wike said during a media parley on Monday morning.

While anchoring a TV program on Arise TV on Tuesday morning, Abati described Wike as a rude politician, noting that Amaechi is Wike’s boss in the field of politics.

“I think that Nyesom Wike is very rude and disrespectful because Rotimi Amaechi is his boss in politics,” said Abati.

“When he was local government chairman or was it councillor during Amaechi’s second term, it was Rotimi Amaechi that helped him to become local government chairman.”

Abati recounted a time when Wike knocked an elder statesman, Peter Odili, stating that he (Odili) did not qualify to be an elder.

“There is no time he has not insulted Peter Odili. He even referred to him as one man and his wife as one woman.”

He also advised President Bola Tinubu to be wary of Wike because he could insult him in the future just as he has done with Amaechi and others.

“Who will Nyesom Wike not insult? He insulted Senator John Mbata, who was his godfather at some point. He also showed signs that he will insult President Bola Tinubu.

“He pointed out that if he had known that President Tinubu would declare a state of emergency in Rivers, he would have offered a different kind of advice.

“That is already a signal to Tinubu that this man you are dealing with is only interested in his own permanent interests, not permanent friends. President Tinubu should beware because tomorrow he will also abuse this same President Tinubu.”

Tinubu is only using him for now, before then he will dump him

Tinubu is used to that kind of character, he might not be bothered.
Aregbesola also did something similar to that insulting Tinubu

Wike have offended many people, Tinubu is smarter than him... Jagaban just dey use him.

It's a matter of time ...

The lion wey you train, na im go chop you.

Wike dey know where him power reach o. He doesn't overdo.

kokoA:
Wike dey know where him power reach o. He doesn't overdo.

Especially when he has something big to gain... But once he no longer sees Tinubu as his helper... Then....

That's a typical Nigerian political style. It's not rudeness. Shoe get size, he can never be rude to Jagaban. They are not mates in every ramification.

Lol. Jobless Abati. Mind your own business and stop cho cho cho like women do.

Let Tinubu worry about what Wike may do or may not do. The matter no 'consign' you.

That one is certain
Shebi all of us still dey

No be lie o Uncle Abati, Wike will be humble like Amaechi after he leaves power

They are using eachother. Tinubu and Wike both understand exactly what they’re doing.

One thing that is certain is that Wike will never Atiku or any other member from the so called coalition. So his marriage with APC will likely see beyond 2027

Everybody wait, See the REAL HEADLINE below 👇

Wike may WILL insult tilumbu tomorrow

There are some corrections I make and tell people to thank me later but for this one . . .

Carry - Dey - Go

Wike is known to insult his godfathers ... Check the records
He insulted Peter odili
He insulted Rotimi Amaechi


He will insult Tinubu

WILL

MUST

You don't need a prophet to know that it will definitely happen, it's just when

For one thing I respect Mr President for,no amount of abusive language moved him,which amount of derogatory and abusive words can Obidients and Aregbesola own. Yet Mr President never bother himself with their abusive words.

Talk your way out.. not about people

Wike and tilumbu saga is a classic example of while the rain fell, two bad men were friends

After 2027, they would clash and tilumbu is send him off because by then would be almost useless to tilumbu.....except tilumbu wants to stay beyond 2031

It will definitely happen if Tinubu dumps him

Which is very normal for him.

Wike is not rude & wont insult tinubu..

Tinubu is one politician in Nigeria wike respect. Even when he was the backbone of Pdp, you’ll hardly see him yabbing Tinubu..

I like men like Wike. Bold & straight forward..

Amaechi and Wike are mates in politics abi Wike does not care how old or young you are in politics if his interest is not met he will castigate you publicly

Exactly.

True that !

Lol Tinubu doesn't even care Abt what comes out of ur mouth...


If not Dem Bwala nd Reno no go even dey near him..



He uses Insults to do Deodorant



See that Bosun Minister of Digital something or I don't even know with all his noise making when he wasn't in Govt he has been given a mantle since immediately the guy became a shadow no workings...

Wike cannot be controlled. It's just a matter of time before he falls out with Tinubu. Then, the details of what they did with Rivers votes will emerge.

Who is talking about mate here?
All those people he insulted are they his mates?
The only edge Tinubu has is that he is Wike's employer now.
Before 2023 election, they were Masters of their, it was protest that brought the marriage convenience.
Don't think if they fall into separate interests, the talkative will spare him.

He wants to turn Wike against his boss...Wike is smarter than all of them; it's why he is not a relic!
