The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has aimed a jab at activist and politician Aisha Yesufu after she missed out on emerging as the FCT senatorial candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
He mocked the influencer on Saturday while speaking at a luncheon for candidates of the Rainbow Coalition in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
According to the former governor, Yesufu—who is known for speaking what he termed “grammar”—could not win an “ordinary” NDC primary election in the FCT.
He further noted that it is quite “easy for people to talk” when speaking with the press, adding that those same people find it difficult to actualise their political aspirations.

Speaking at the event, Wike said: “There’s one woman who said Wike is an appointee of government and that she has no business with appointees. You speak grammar, speak grammar.
“Ordinary primary of NDC—not APC or PDP, just ordinary NDC—what happened? She didn’t make it.
“It’s easy for people to talk. When they enter into those media houses, they begin to churn out data from nowhere.
“Now, the time for data has come. What happened? ‘Fa fa fa foul.’ It didn’t work. If e didn’t dey? E didn’t dey.”
