Umar Sani Mocks Wike Over Recent Media Outburst

Umar Sani, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, has mocked the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over his media outburst on Wednesday.

Remember, Wike battled several top PDP figures including Seyi Makinde, Adolphus Wabara, Jerry Gana and Aminu Turaki.

He alleged fraudulent conduct by the party leaders and questioned their moral authority to manage the affairs of the PDP.

Sani however said that Wike was trying to justify the legitimacy of his faction in the party in the face of the lingering leadership crisis.

He said Thursday on Arise Television’s Morning Show.

Wike decided to address Nigerians himself after his loyalists’ explanations failed to gain public acceptance, Sani said.

According to him, the FCT Minister was unable to clearly explain the legal and political issues involved in the PDP crisis particularly the conflicting court rulings.

Sani said Wike moved between the Federal High Court, Ibadan, the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, and the Supreme Court judgment without making clear the real situation in the party.

Nyesom Wike’s outburst yesterday stems from the fact that he has sent, after the Supreme Court judge, most of his lieutenants to come out and explain to Nigerians. “This is a full disclosure of the whole truth, what is happening and where we are today now. They were not making sense to Nigerians.

“So the big masquerade decided to come out himself yesterday to try to explain to Nigerians why his own faction of the PDP is the most legitimate and the most authentic.

“But he has tried to explain our origins, although not very convincingly. He was toggling between the judgment of the Ibadan Federal High Court and the judgment of the Federal Court of Appeal in Abuja division, and of course the Supreme Court.

“So he was not able to clearly lay the cards on the table for Nigerians to be able to understand what is actually going on.”
