Wike Spewing Gibberish Like Broken Water Pipe — Wabara
Kehinde Fajobi
Senator Adolphus Wabara, Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees, has criticised Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), over recent comments targeting him.
Wike had remarked that if Wabara were his father, he would have disowned him. In response, the former Senate President described Wike’s speech as “gibberish,” likening it to “a broken water pipe without a tap.”
Wabara said he would not engage in a war of words with Wike, citing his position as an elder statesman and former Number Three Citizen of Nigeria. He, however, expressed disappointment at Wike’s lack of decorum.
“It is disgraceful for someone who should be a man of honour to speak without maturity. Spewing gibberish like a broken water pipe without a tap is not a mark of maturity,” Wabara stated.
He added, “I would expect a man of his calibre and status to mind his language and be sure of his facts. But I don’t want to join issues with Wike and dignify him.”
Wabara also questioned Wike’s remarks about disowning a father, asking, “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?”
On accusations of corruption, Wabara firmly stated, “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, am not corrupt!”
The PDP leader urged Wike to show respect for elders and the office he occupies as a minister and former governor.
