- Wike recalled a visit to Anambra during PDP’s peak years, where their host served Cristal Brut champagne—seen by many as a dig at Obi, who once claimed to own just one wristwatch and two pairs of black shoes.
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike appeared to take a swipe at Peter Obi while speaking at the commissioning of the Kugbo Bus and Taxi Terminal in Abuja on June 26.
He recalled a visit to Anambra during PDP’s peak years, where their host served Cristal Brut champagne—seen by many as a dig at Obi, who once claimed to own just one wristwatch and two pairs of black shoes.
“I will tell you something. When PDP had no problem, we went to Anambra state for a gubernatorial campaign and when we finished that campaign, we went to somebody’s house. I just sat down. Come and see the best of drinks, this and that. So, I called him, I said you are providing cristal champagne here but every day, you tell people that you wear only one shoe, you carry your own bag, only you. But look at champagne here. Not just champagne, cristal.
Why do we deceive Nigerians? Why can’t we tell ourselves the simple truth?What you preach is not what you practice. And you know, we like to hear such things but that is being deceitful.
And these are the kind of things that I tell Nigerians, look, don’t allow people to deceive you. People who are preaching that they care for you, they don’t care for you, they don’t think about you. They only try to use you to climb”.
