Nigerian businessman and social commentator, Isaac Fayose, has criticised Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over his comments on the recently concluded Osun State governorship election.
Wike had suggested that Governor Ademola Adeleke won the election because the Federal Government chose not to deploy its influence in the state.
According to the FCT Minister, President Bola Tinubu allowed the people of Osun to freely decide who would govern them.
Reacting to the comment in a Facebook post, Fayose cautioned Wike against comparing Osun State with Rivers State, where the minister previously served as governor.
Fayose argued that the people of Osun had already made up their minds before going to the polls and would not have been swayed by political influence.
He said, “When I listen to Wike, my stomach rumbles. Look at the confidence with which he said if the President had wanted Osun, he would have been there.
“May God continue to save Nigeria from these kinds of people. God will shock him.
“Osun people are not Rivers. Osun people made up their minds, and one thousand of you cannot change it. You are dreaming.
“Thank God Atiku did not choose you as his vice president; this country would have been destroyed more than it is now.
“So, you wanted to change the will of Osun people as you usually do in Rivers? I feel sorry for Nigerians. How come people are still campaigning for this man?”
Fayose’s comments come amid continued political reactions to the outcome of the Osun governorship election and the role allegedly played by the Federal Government during the poll.
