Atiku support group describes Wike as “a nincompoop grappling with midlife crises”
The New Youth Front for Atiku (NYFA) has dismissed recent comments by FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, calling him “a nincompoop grappling with midlife crises.”
In a statement by its spokesperson, Prof. Gold Emmanuel, the group stated that despite Wike’s “delusional ramblings,” they are committed to ushering in a new era of leadership under Atiku Abubakar in 2027.
“We spare no nano second on a nincompoop,” Emmanuel stated, declaring that NYFA is fully focused on resetting Nigeria with an Atiku-led administration and would not be distracted by Wike’s “delusions.”
The group was reacting to Wike’s statement that the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential flagbearer in the 2023 election has lost relevance in politics.
The former Rivers governor said Atiku had been rejected by Nigerians, having contested the presidential elections in 2019 and 2023 and lost.
His words: “We never contested the local government elections. Did we contest? Did we pick forms? I hear Atiku Abubakar say, ‘Oh, they have rejected me in Rivers State.’ Okay, assuming, though not conceding, that he has lost many times, Nigerians have also rejected him.
“If you say for an election we did not contest, never participated in, that it shows Nigerians have rejected us, fine. You that contested and failed woefully, Nigerians have rejected you, so pack up and go home.”
