The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Friday declared his loyalty to President Bola Tinubu.
Wike said he believes in Tinubu’s capacity and is old enough
to be his father, hence his loyalty.
He disclosed this while featuring on Channels Television’s
programme, Politics Today.
The minister also accused Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers
State of taking advantage of Tinubu’s presidential intervention to insult
“everybody.”
According to Wike: “The governor (Fubara) took advantage of
the presidential intervention to insult everybody. I’m an appointee of Mr
President and never had any bargain before I supported him. I believed in his
capacity and never hid my intentions of what I’m going to do.
“When Mr President called, there are things I should not
have accepted, but he’s the president of a country and he is our father even by
age. And he appointed me; why would I say no?
“What the governor did was to take advantage of that thank
you. I’m not one anybody can tie; I owe my loyalty to Mr President.
“The president said do this and that, but he went back and
raised over 40 litigations.”
Wike and Fubara have been at loggerheads over the political
and resource control of Rivers State.
Tinubu had intervened and made both parties sign a peace
pact, but the face-off between the duo has lingered on.
