The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike, has slammed the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, following the latters defection to the African Democratic Congress ADC.
On Wednesday, Amaechi officially joined the ADC, a coalition-backed political party spearheaded by former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, along with other opposition politicians, in an effort to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Speaking on Channels Televisions Politics Today programme on Thursday, Amaechi declared his interest in contesting for president on the platform of the ADC in the forthcoming election.
Amaechi stated that the Tinubu administration has mismanaged the economy, adding that the previous government of Muhammadu Buhari, in which she served as a minister, was far more effective than the current one.
But his political rival, Wike, has dismissed Amaechis presidential aspiration, saying the ex-minister will never return to power.
