Wike had, during the inauguration of a coalition gathering in Port Harcourt on Saturday, reportedly mocked Yesufu over her unsuccessful bid in the NDC senatorial primary election.
Reacting in a strongly worded post on social media, Yesufu appeared to take aim at the former Rivers State governor without directly mentioning his name, accusing him of political opportunism and questioning his record within party politics.
“Ovevekuve! I hear say one man that did not win primaries in 2022, who even lobbied for running mate and still was not chosen, then ran to do boi boi for a fellow man like him and ended up destroying a party that was once largest in Africa and was recently disgraced by a young military officer is talking about a woman in NDC,” she wrote.
The activist also challenged Wike to mention her name directly if he intended to criticize her publicly.
“Let me wait make the man get liver mention name! Then the man doing boi boi because he has to be in power to have authority will know those of us from Kukuruku empire of Edo State in South South no dey grovel,” she stated.
Continuing her remarks, Yesufu referenced the events surrounding the 2022 presidential primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suggesting that Wike had previously been politically outmaneuvered.
“If dem born Wike well, make e call my name with his full chest! What Tambuwal did him in 2022 will be child’s play! You have been doing politics for donkey years yet you were outplayed so foolishly!” she added.
The exchange is the latest in a series of political jabs involving key figures ahead of the 2027 general elections, as parties and political actors continue to realign and position themselves for future contests.
Yesufu recently clarified that she did not voluntarily withdraw from the FCT senatorial race but accepted the outcome of what she described as a flawed primary process for the sake of party unity and the larger political battle ahead.
