Bode George, a Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, vowed to drag Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike before the courts, accusing him of making reckless allegations while insisting the minister’s conduct had become unacceptable and damaging to public discourse recently.
According to a report by Punch Newspaper on Thursday, August 6, 2026, while reacting to Wike’s allegations concerning his Abuja residence, George threatened legal action, insisting the minister’s comments were irresponsible and should not go without consequences under law.
George maintained that Wike’s repeated attacks had crossed acceptable political boundaries, arguing that public officials should exercise greater restraint in their remarks rather than making accusations capable of undermining reputations without presenting supporting evidence before Nigerians nationwide.
Expressing his frustration, he stated, “I’m going to sue him to court for all the shenanigans, the thoughtlessness. And I’m sure he was high on something. It’s high time this guy in the villa should move away from him. He’s unadvised. You don’t need him.”
