[VIDEO] Wike Jabs New Tinubu Supporters: “They Couldn’t Sing ‘On Your Mandate’ in 2023”

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has taken a swipe at politicians who have recently aligned with President Bola Tinubu, questioning their loyalty during the pivotal 2023 election campaign.

Key Points:

Wike criticized individuals now chanting ‘On Your Mandate We Stand’ for failing to support Tinubu openly in 2023.
He credited himself and his supporters for making the President’s mandate “strong” in Rivers State.
The Minister highlighted the difficulty of publicly backing Tinubu during the tense election period.
He assured his loyalists that their sacrifices and electoral efforts “will not go in vain.”
Wike played a decisive, controversial role in delivering Rivers State to the APC while remaining in the PDP.
He challenged new supporters to account for their absence when their backing was most needed.
The remarks did not name specific individuals but clearly targeted recent defectors to the Tinubu camp.

The statement reinforces Wike’s self-portrayal as a steadfast kingmaker while undermining the credibility of his rivals’ newfound allegiance.
