Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, a former Labour Party vice presidential candidate, has implied that Nyesom Wike, the FCT Minister, may be justified in his involvement in the ongoing leadership crisis plaguing the PDP.

This is what he said when answering questions on Tuesday’s Prime Time show on Arise Television.

Given his sacrifice for the party, Baba-Ahmed implied that Wike wasn’t treated fairly by the PDP.

He claimed that Wike’s friend betrayed him at the most crucial time and that the FCT Minister kept the party going while others were away.

He said: “You see, all the things that Wike is doing, I don’t agree with them, but he is justified to an extent. I’m trying to say that whatever he’s doing, deep down in his mind, I’m trying to remotely psych how he thinks and all that.

“Right at the Eagle Square, in the glare of the whole world, a party that he sustained while others were away, a very dear friend of his, at the most critical moment, backstabbed him.

“As far as he’s concerned, ‘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, humanly speaking, I want to be fair to him. Whoever is treated that way will definitely fight back. It was not fair.

“I used to tell these people, be careful, even in your acts of politicking, be careful when you ask of treachery, be careful with your tricks. There is a time you fix somebody beyond imagination.

“Well, the people who did this to Wike, you know, they come from a very rich history with what he did for them in 2011, the relationship, the friendship, how it lasted, became a long way and at the very last, they did this to him. He will destroy the party. He’s a human being.”
