Wabara was reacting to Wike’s remark that he would have
disowned Wabara if the former Senate President were his father.
Wike made this disclosure during a media chat yesterday in
Abuja, where he criticised Wabara’s leadership style as the PDP BoT Chairman.
However, Wabara described Wike’s comments as disgraceful,
stating that it was unbecoming of a supposed man of honour to speak without
decorum.
In a statement he signed, the PDP BoT Chairman accused the
minister of “spewing gibberish like a broken water pipe without a tap,” which
he said was not a mark of maturity.
According to Wabara: “I would expect a man of his calibre
and status to mind his language and words. He should be sure of his facts. But
I don’t want to join issues with Wike and dignify him.
“Frankly, for a son to disown his father, his father must
have wronged him terribly. Can Wike please tell the world what it is I did
wrong to him?
“Talking about corruption, Nigerians know those who are
corrupt, and I can proudly say and beat my chest that I’m not one of them. I,
Adolphus Wabara, am not corrupt! I won’t be joining issues with people who have
no respect for elders.”
