A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, as a bulldozer that must be managed or avoided.

Fayose stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Friday.

He also counseled governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to tread with care over the crisis involving Wike and one of their own.

Fayose also said he would work against the PDP if the party fields a northern candidate in 2027.

He said: “Let me quickly warn that this Wike you see is like a bulldozer that you must manage or find a way to avoid. When somebody says I will come to your house at a particular time and he arrives, you must know that there is problem.

“The snippets I saw of Wike earlier is saying, ‘I’m warning now, I have said my own now.’ Before trouble will erupt, can we find common ground to resolve this matter because you can’t build something on nothing?

“We must tread carefully, honestly, I’m saying it that I have not seen Wike in a while, but tread cautiously.”

However, Fayose accused former President Muhammadu Buhari of messing up Nigeria.

He said, “When I say things, you don’t have to believe me today, but when it catches up with you, you will remember that Fayose told you.

“This was how I told Nigerians, with all due respect to Buhari, that he will mess up this country, and everybody was shouting me down that let him do his government, which he has done and left you wounded, so what are you saying?” (Weekend Trust)
