Ireti Kingibe: ‘Stop making enemies, be concerned about 2027 – Omokri to Wike

Amid his rift with the Federal Capital Territory, FCT,
senator, Ireti Kingibe, a former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno
Omokri, has cautioned the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike against opening too
many battlefronts.

 

Omokri said Wike should be concerned with helping President
Bola Tinubu win the 2027 presidential election in the FCT and not make enemies
with Kingibe.

 

Kingibe had said Wike chose to focus on infrastructural
development rather than the needs of the people.

 

The senator said FCT residents were unimpressed with Wike’s
performance because he focused more on infrastructure that was of no benefit to
the FCT residents.

 

Reacting, Wike threatened the lawmaker that she would not
return to the senate in 2027.

 

However, Omokri said the minister should ignore Kingibe.

 

Posting on X, Omokri wrote: “Wike is opening too many battlefronts.
He should learn how to pick and choose his battles. At worst, Ireti Kingibe is
just an irritant. As FCT Minister, she has minimal ability to do you any actual
harm beyond nuisance value.

 

“You are already fighting an obstinate foe in Rivers. Why will
you leave the elephant you are carrying on your head to use your toe to kill an
ant? What if you slip and fall?

 

“You are threatening her that she will not return. First of
all, that is undemocratic. But even if Wike’s threat to stop her reelection was
not undemocratic, how many ruling parties have won in the FCT? The FCT
traditionally votes for opposition parties. Buhari lost the FCT in 2015 and
2019.

 

“President Tinubu lost it in 2023. Should Wike not be more
concerned about winning FCT votes in 2027 than fighting a girl?

 

“If you constantly make enemies everywhere you go, perhaps
other people are not the problem. What is in Ireti Kingibe that you cannot
transcend her by ignoring her?”
