Learning Without Character Is Equal To Zero

The attention of Atiku Media Office has been drawn to yet another emotional outburst disguised as a press statement from the camp of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Chief Nyesom Wike, issued by his aide, Lere Olayinka.

While we understand that bitterness often finds expression in misplaced aggression, we must remind Mr. Wike and his team that a bitter heart isn’t capable of charity, nor does it inspire unity, healing, or truth.

Once again, facts have been twisted in a desperate attempt to rewrite history. Mr. Wike, through his spokesperson, claims that he had 13 votes from a committee set up to recommend a vice presidential running mate, while Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa had only two. Let us be clear: there are no laid down rules or laws on the selection process of a running mate. Committees, consultations, and recommendations are advisory in nature. The final decision rests solely and exclusively with the presidential candidate, in this case, Atiku Abubakar. It is a constitutional and strategic choice, not a popularity contest.

Assuming, but not conceding that Wike had 13 votes and Okowa had 2 — just like universities confer degrees “in learning and in character” — one must ask: what is the worth of votes if character scores a zero? Leadership is not only about numbers; it is about temperament, dignity, and the ability to unify. A man may boast of numbers, but if his conduct lacks grace and humility, those numbers are empty.

We make no apologies for choosing Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa as the running mate in 2023. That decision was based on a combination of intellect, composure, and statesmanship. 

We have been vindicated by Mr. Wike’s public conduct in Rivers state where he once served as governor and in Abuja since becoming FCT Minister, which has made it abundantly clear why he was unsuitable for the role of Vice President in a ticket meant to unify, not divide.

We urge Mr. Wike and his social media spokesperson to resist the temptation to sermonize about religious piety during Ramadan and Lent, too, while simultaneously fanning the flames of discord. Let us not reduce sacred periods to a tool for petty political jabs.

The task of rebuilding our party and our nation is a serious one. It is time to move beyond bruised egos and focus on what truly matters: the future of Nigeria and the wellbeing of its people!

Character of development

Fire for fire

And what is so special about being the best FCT minister?

We can only count about 5 previous FCT ministers right?

So being the best out of 5?

Making it sound like he's top out of 100,, lol.

Besides many people still believe Nasir El Rufai did much better without carrying cameras all around and doing a million press conferences..

😁

That VP matter really pain Wike no be small..

We know that's what his grouse with PDP is all about till today...

The reject from Atiku..

Which reasonable person would take a Nyesom Wike as running mate afterall?


When he was rejected he started running around telling the world he was fighting for Southern presidency!!!

Idiot. When were you born and what do you know about the trajectory of developments in FCT? Tokenism has reduced your ability to think rationally.

Comment maturely

A man who has been contesting and losing over the years is talking about learning?

Lol

Atiku is a greedy and selfish man who needs to retire from ridiculing himself....

Nobody cursed him... Obasanjo told him that he will never be Nigerian president... but he took those words for granted 😄😄

That's the mildest comment/reaction I could give to mischief makers who leave substance of a matter and concentrate on trivialities,

Let's cultivate the habit of calling a spade by its name.

Showering undeserved praises on nation destroyers is condemnable. Okay!

Nlfpmod.....

Pdp gave wike too much power and free hand to do as he likes when he was governor because was dishing out rivers money carelessly to pdp states and now they have to pay the price for their docility.

You don't get the point or you are deliberately misfiring.

The duel is between Atiku and Wike..

Atiku rejected Wike as VP and thrashed him twice at the Presidential primaries..


Tell us what Wike has won over Atiku..



It's a duel.

Wike frustrated and is still frustrating the Alhaji's inordinate ambition and perpetual running!

El-rufai is the architect of new FCT. Wike is just a loud camera carrying, picture taking show-off. He can spend 100m on a project and use 200m to publicise he did the project.

Small yansh wey dey shake..

Body yasef.

Wike couldn't even win Obio Akpor for Tinubu without thuggery and hijacking of materials in 2023.
Peter Obi thrashed Tinubu even in Wike's ward.

The only thing that cost Atiku in 2023 was Peter Obi...

Stop putting Wike where e no reach..

Outside Rivers he's useless...

Elrufai came to destroy structures he claimed were in contrast with the FCT masterplan...so he said...but we know all what he did and stole.
Can you ever find a good Fulani in the world 🌎 ?

So not learning and becoming Almajari equals what?

A. Bandits
B. Terrorists
C. Boko haram
D. Shiites movement


Ogun kee your Mama there Atiku

Atiku should just go and sleep abeg.

Wike don beat you to pulp in this game. You still dey talk?

COMRADES are speechless, Atiku made the right decision for not picking Wike as his running mate because Atiku already knew that Wike was declared persona non grata by the Islamic nations, if he had chosen Wike to be his vice he could have had zero votes from the Northern Muslims

Wike don turn Alhaji mikano to a philosopher , fear wike !!!
Never see a politician as greedy as Atiku, c'mon sponsor someone it mustn't be you .

And he still dey pain am to the point of desperation. Going about in the north lieing to Islamic leaders that he has a deal with Kwakwanso and Obi to be the next president for one term. Then hand over to kwakwanso for one term. Then obi for two .

Is this Alhaji Atiku OK at all.....

EmperorIsaac:

That's a bad return!
'character and learning'

To power zero
I hear say wike faint due to he was trying to be high than the most high

We know..

But, why should Atiku lied If you have chosen Okowa, it's your decision...stand by it...not lying..

Why the lies

Atiku and Wike wahala be like Portable and Speed Darlington. Them fit each other.

by what indices have you come to this ambiguous conclusion?

Goalposts shifting

Why can't they make peace with Wike and they should do the right thing if truly they want to serve the Nigerians.

All this gba gbos shows that they don't mean well.
They wanted to use River State Allocations to run for elections and their plans are truncated again.

You get character and you looted and ran to Dubai ba?

Pls go and answer you case in Lagos with your runaway side chick.

Lol

What about lying without character
