Wike made the statement on Wednesday while speaking with
journalists in Port Harcourt.
Responding to questions about whether the incumbent Rivers
governor controls the state’s political structure, Wike said holding the office
of governor was not the only way to influence politics.
“You do not need to be governor before you can be in charge.
I am the General Commander of the Political Infantry; therefore, I am in
charge. So also in FCT. I owe the president to give these two. As far as the
election is concerned, you count FCT as a state,” he said.
The former Rivers governor explained that his visit to the
state was partly to reconnect with his political supporters and spend time with
his family.
“It’s not about relocating; it’s about coming home to
reconnect with my people and talk to them, not taking chances… so that they
don’t just sit in Abuja and think everything is going well,” Wike said.
He added that his visit was not entirely political, noting
that he still had family responsibilities in the state.
Wike also claimed that his political influence had attracted
more opposition against him.
