Minister Nyesom Wike has expressed doubt about the credibility of the African Democratic Congress presidential ticket featuring Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi. Speaking at a Rainbow Coalition meeting in Rivers State, Wike questioned Atiku's record as Vice President, noting that he served from 1999 to 2007. He emphasized that Atiku's tenure was marked by significant responsibility, including overseeing privatization and government companies.
Wike asked whether observers could still see the impact of such a powerful Vice President. He criticized Atiku for being described by Obasanjo as corrupt and stated that Atiku cannot claim moral integrity after asking Nigerians to take money from the ruling party, claiming it was "stolen" money. Wike also noted that Amaechi's inclusion in the ADC has complicated the party's presidential ticket, dubbing the Atiku-Amaechi ticket as a "joint ticket of corruption" that is unlikely to secure 25 percent of the votes in Rivers State.
