Wike Taunts Yesufu After NDC Primary Loss
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has mocked activist Aisha Yesufu following her defeat in the Nigeria Democratic Congress senatorial primary held in Abuja.
The reaction came shortly after reports confirmed she did not secure the party’s ticket.
Wike made the remarks while reacting to the outcome of the internal party contest, where Yesufu was among the aspirants.
He described the result as a reflection of political reality, pointing to her inability to win the delegate-based exercise.
Yesufu had contested the Abuja senatorial ticket under the NDC but failed to emerge as the party’s candidate at the convention.
The process ended with another aspirant securing the nomination for the forthcoming 2027 elections.
The exchange has added to ongoing political tensions between both figures, with Wike using the outcome to question her political strength while supporters of Yesufu continue to defend her activism and role in national political debates.
