Senator Adolphus Wabara, Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has sharply criticized the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over recent comments directed at him.
Wike had remarked that if Wabara were his father, he would have disowned him—a statement that has drawn widespread attention.
Responding to the remarks, Wabara, a former Senate President, likened Wike’s statements to “a broken water pipe without a tap,” emphasizing the lack of decorum in the Minister’s words.
As an elder statesman and a former Number Three Citizen of Nigeria, Wabara stated that it would be undignified to engage in a verbal exchange with Wike.
However, he expressed disappointment in the Minister’s unguarded utterances, especially given Wike’s position as a serving Minister of the Federal Republic and a former governor.
The PDP leader also said it was disgraceful for a supposed man of honour to speak without decorum, adding that “spewing gibberish like a broken water pipe without a tap is not a mark of maturity”.
“I will expect a man of his calibre and status to mind his language and words. He should be sure of his facts. But I don’t want to join issues with Wike and dignify him.
“Frankly for a son to disown his father, his father must have wronged him terribly. Can Wike please tell the world what it is I did wrong to him?
“Talking about corruption, Nigerians know those who are corrupt, and I can proudly say and beat my chest that I’m not one of them I, Adolphus Wabara, I’m not corrupt! I won’t be joining issues with people who have no respect for elders.”
