Nyesom Wike, Nigeria’s minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), criticises former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi, describing them as “political gamblers” and claiming they are deceiving Nigerians.
Speaking to audiences connected to Rivers State, Wike warns voters that the trio will allegedly play “kalokalo” with their destiny, and he urges them to reject the candidates and support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. In other coverage, Wike repeats that their campaign approach lacks a clear vision and misleads the public.
Across the outlets, the consistent theme is Wike’s pointed opposition to the three figures and his push for voters to align with Tinubu for the 2027 election. The reports differ mainly in the framing of Wike’s claims—whether he characterises them as gamblers, as deceivers, or uses the “kalokalo” metaphor—but all present his message as a direct warning to electorates about the trio’s political prospects.
