Barrister Nyesom Wike and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
Wike to Atiku: Nigerians have rejected you, go back home [VIDEO]
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barrister Nyesom Wike, has mocked former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over his failure to be president of the country.
Wike took a dig at Atiku at a luncheon honouring loyal members of the Rivers State Assembly in Port Harcourt.
The development comes after Atiku ridiculed him over the recent local government elections in Rivers State, where the Action Peoples Party (APP) secured 22 out of 23 local government chairmanship posts.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, which is backed by Wike, backed out of the election.

In retaliation, Wike said on Saturday, “We never contested local government elections. Did we contest? Did we pick form? I hear Atiku Abubakar say, ‘Oh they have rejected me in Rivers State. Okay, assuming though not conceding, he had lost so many times, Nigerians have also rejected him.”
“If you say for an election we did not contest; never participated that shows Nigerians have rejected us, it is okay. You that contested and failed woefully, Nigerians have rejected you, therefore pack and go home.”
