The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said that Peter Obi’s refusal to stand for the national anthem proves that he is lawless. He recently had his say at a stakeholders’ town hall in Ogu-Bolo Local Government Area of Rivers State, organised under the Rainbow Coalition to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election and candidates of the All Progressives Congress APC.
Stressing that the NDC presidential candidate is out to divide Nigeria, Wike revealed that he doesn’t expect any less from a politician who abandons parties whenever internal crises arise instead of staying to resolve them.
Emphasizing Obi’s disregard for the rule of law, Nyesom added that the former Labour Party candidate failed to conduct local government elections in his eight years as governor.
His words, “A whole national anthem of a country is being sung. A man who wants to be President of Nigeria would disobey and sit down.
And then not only that, when a different national anthem that is not being used for Nigeria [was sung], he stood up.
In a way, he does not belong to this country. In a way, he has said he does not belong to this country; that if you give him the president, he would do a different thing that will divide Nigeria.
A man who does not believe in Nigeria, someone who derives joy in ridiculing the country by disrespecting its symbolic National Anthem must not be allowed to come near the presidency of our country.
