Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike has slammed the anti-Tinubu coalition which on Wednesday took over the structure of the African Democratic Congress ADC, describing them as a gang of failed and expired politicians.

Taking on the coalition leaders one by one, Wike said: "Senator David Mark wanted to be chairman of the People's Democratic Party PDP, but was resisted and has now gone to take that of the ADC.

"I heard him say they want to rescue Nigeria and that Nigerians are not happy. But the man was Senate President for eight years and Nigerians were happy? There was no single project in Otukpo and he was flying with helicopter to Otukpo. Nigerians were not angry then, but they are angry now?"

Wike said Mark, as leader of the PDP in his area, lost elections as his daughter who ran under another political party and won a seat to the House of Representatives.

He said further: "Amaechi was minister. He took Chinese loans and made Nigeria to be so much indebted to China. So, Nigerians were happy then?

"When you were in power Nigerians were happy but the moment you are no longer in power, Nigerians are no longer happy. I saw Sirika. What happened to Air Nigeria? Nigerians were happy then?

When they went to APC in 2013 and took over power Nigerians were happy but no longer happy today? Was it under Tinubu's government that banditry came?

I read what Malami wrote. He was AGF and what did he do? What was his contribution to resolving the security challenges?

Tambuwal was Speaker for four years. What did he do to make Nigerians not to be angry? He was governor for eight years. What did he do? What kind of politics are we playing?".
