Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Friday launched a scathing attack on the coalition movement, saying its leaders failed to make the lives of Nigerians better while they were in office.
The minister, who identified some of coalition leaders by name, said their quest to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027 with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will not succeed.
Wike also lambasted the former minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, over a claim that his (Amaechi) wife is an industrialist.
The FCT minister said Amaechi’s wife was a contractor with the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

The minister, during a tell-all interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, claimed that Amaechi’s wife handled a contract worth N4 billion monthly to train Niger Delta women.
Wike’s reactions came barely 24 hours after Amaechi featured on the same programme on Channels TV, questioning the FCT minister’s wealth and attacking the Tinubu-led administration.
Amaechi, Wike’s predecessor as Rivers governor, is a key member of the recently unveiled coalition party, ADC, led by former Senate President David Mark as interim national chairman and former interior minister, Rauf Aregbesola, as its national secretary.
Other members of the coalition party are former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi; former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai; former APC national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, among others.

Wike blasts coalition leaders
He said the coalition movement is led by people who are not sincere. “They were in government for so many years. What did they do?” he said.
He accused Mark and Aregbesola of not taking steps to improve the lives of Nigeria especially in the area of security.
“Take for instance, Aregbesola was minister of interior, what steps did he take to make those things that concerned internal affairs and all that better. Nothing”
He questioned the decisions the coalition leaders took while they were in office.
“All those talking about coalition. I don’t have a problem with coalition. But who is talking to me about coalition? The man who has been in government for many years.”
He lampooned David Mark saying he was a governor in Niger State at 36, becaame a minister at 38 years and became senate president at 59.

“Now tell me, when you (Mark) were governor in Niger state, what did you do there? When you were minister of communication remember he said the phone is not for the poor. Today he is telling Nigerians, he wants to rescue Nigerians.”
The minister noted that the Tinubu administration inherited a bad economy and had to take hard decisions to reposition the country on the right path
Wike had earlier faulted opposition politicians for forming the coalition just 18 months after the inauguration of President Bola Tinubu in 2023—barely six months into his administration.
He also challenged members of the coalition to present their scorecards and show Nigerians what they achieved while in office, instead of claiming that Nigerians were angry.
He spoke during the inauguration of the Aguma Palace–New Market–Radio Nigeria road in Gwagwalada.
