Former Labour Party Vice Presidential candidate Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed has stated that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike may be upset by a betrayal from a close friend.
On Arise Television’s Prime Time program on Tuesday, Baba-Ahmed argued that Wike’s role in the Peoples Democratic Party’s leadership crisis may be justified by the hurt he has caused.
While claiming that the PDP did not treat Wike fairly, he stated that the FCT Minister supported the party while others were away.
According to the former vice presidential candidate, Wike’s acquaintance betrayed him at the most crucial period of the PDP’s presidential primary.

“You see, I disagree with what Wike is doing, yet he is justified to some extent. I’m trying to say that whatever he’s doing, deep down in his mind, I’m attempting to remotely psych how he thinks and so on,” Baba-Ahmed explained.
“Right in Eagle Square, in front of the entire world, during a party he hosted while others were away, a very close friend of his backstabbed him at the most important moment.
“In his opinion, ‘these are two northerners who cheated me; these are two Hausa-Fulanis; these are two Muslims who cheated me, and I will teach them a lesson.'” This is Wike.
“So, in human terms, I want to be fair to him. Whoever is treated this way will undoubtedly fight back. It was unfair.
“I used to advise these folks to be careful, even in your political deeds, when you ask for treachery, and with your trickery. There are times when you can fix someone beyond anything you could imagine.
“Well, the folks that did this to Wike, you know, they have a really deep history with what he did for them in 2011, the relationship, the friendship, how it lasted, how far it went, and then they did this to him. He will destroy the party. He is a human being.
