Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory, Nyesom Wike, has told the Senator representing the FCT, Ireti
Kingibe, that he cannot be coerced into becoming her friend.
Wike lambasted the Senator,
accusing her of blackmailing him instead of communicating her problems through
the right channels or better still focusing on her oversight functions.
The former Rivers Governor stated
this in an interview with journalists in Abuja, stating that the lawmaker is
aggrieved because the Senate President snubbed her for the position of the
Senate Committee on FCT.
“I don’t want to be
personal…she’s the Senator for FCT. She went around saying ‘oh, oh Wike is busy
scraping roads…I should leave the roads till when the potholes come?” Wike
said.
“Somebody wants to be your friend
and you say ‘I don’t want to be your friend. Is it by force?’ The problem is
that she wanted to be Chairman, Senate Committee on FCT and the Senate
President said ‘I’m not giving you’.
‘What are you going to supervise
me? You cannot supervise me. What is her interest, that I must see her? If I
have a problem I’ll go and see her. I don’t have a problem. Nobody can
intimidate me. Look, I was a Minister before. I became a governor of one of the
most important states in Nigeria and she thinks that the only way you can bring
me is to go to Channel, TVC, saying the Minister is not carrying me along.
“I don’t have the back to carry.
It’s not about blackmailing. Do the right thing. You know her problem? She ran
election with my friend Philip Aduda and she sees me taking Philip everywhere
instead of her being the Senator. Should I abandon my friend because she failed
election?” Wike queried.
