Nigerian minister accuses ex-governor and ex-vice president of party-hopping for personal gain.

Nigerian FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has accused former Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of political inconsistency, alleging they frequently switched parties for personal gain. Wike criticized their loyalty, citing past shifts in allegiance and a 2023 rift over zoning commitments that could have benefited the South. He defended his own record, stating he has remained with the PDP since 1999. The remarks followed Tambuwal’s public support for Atiku over Wike, prompting Wike to question their trustworthiness and leadership credentials.
