Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory
(FCT), says he is working with President Bola Tinubu to achieve the promise of
“renewed hope” for Nigerians.
Speaking during an interview with Channels Television on
Wednesday, Wike said he is not a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
and is not working for the party.
Wike’s appointment as minister in a cabinet formed by
Tinubu, the APC candidate who won the February presidential election, has
elicited mixed reactions.
Asked during the interview about his PDP membership status,
the former Rivers governor said he remains a member of the party.
“I feel at home
working for the government of Tinubu. He has given me that courage. He is a man
who means well for the country,” he said.
“He is looking for people who will support him to achieve
the renewed hope he promised Nigerians.
“I’m not here to work for a party. I’m here to support the
president who has confidence in me — to help him deliver the renewed hope and I
owe nobody any apology.”
Asked what will be his next line of action should the
election tribunal sack Tinubu, Wike said the God he serves will not allow that
happen to him.
“I have never failed. I strongly believe that the God I
serve is not a sleeping God,” he said.
“I believe the God that made me go through all these
processes will not just abandon us like that.”
Wike said he is happy that he stood for justice and fairness
during the 2023 elections.
