Peter Obi dumped Labour Party during crisis because he can't solve problems - Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike has taken a sniper at former presidential candidate Peter Obi.

According to him, governors of the Peoples Democratic Party who dumped the party for others are no different from Obi who dumped the Labour Party for the African Democratic Congress.

He said, "What have happened with defections everywhere shows that Governors under the PDP who defected have shown that they have no leadership traits. I liken them to the former Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party who was given a platform to contest as President, but when crisis came in Labour Party, it is that time it was required for him to show leadership but he ran away because he cannot solve problems.

"The same thing when our Governors were looking for a platform to become Governors but when crisis came, it was time for them to show leadership, to show as men of vision and courage they ran away. This is to tell you those who can stand in times of crisis."
