Nigerian businessman and social commentator, Prince Isaac Fayose, has criticised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, over his remarks concerning the outcome of the recently concluded Osun State governorship election.

Wike, while addressing journalists on Tuesday, claimed that the Federal Government did not use its influence against Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party during the election.

The FCT minister maintained that President Bola Tinubu allowed the people of Osun State to freely determine who would govern them.

He further argued that Tinubu would have personally travelled to the state during the election if he had wanted the All Progressives Congress, APC, to emerge victorious.

Wike’s comments have continued to attract reactions, with some Nigerians interpreting his remarks as an indication that federal influence could determine electoral outcomes.

Reacting in a video posted on his official Facebook page on Tuesday, Fayose questioned the minister’s position and argued that Osun voters had already decided who they wanted before the election took place.

According to Fayose, the political situation in Osun State should not be likened to Rivers State, where Wike previously served as governor.

He maintained that the people of Osun had their own political choices and were not operating under the same circumstances that prevailed in Rivers State.

Fayose 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?”
