Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom
Wike, has hailed former Delta State Governor and 2023 PDP Vice Presidential
candidate, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, for publicly endorsing President Bola Ahmed
Tinubu.
Wike, in a statement issued on Wednesday through his Senior
Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka,
described Okowa’s support as a “strong endorsement of the President’s good
governance and commitment to national development.”
The FCT Minister said Okowa’s move is not only timely but
also aligns with the vision of a united Nigeria—an idea he said guided his own
political decisions during the last general election.
“I commend Dr. Okowa and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for
this heart-warming decision. It shows recognition of the developmental strides
and leadership of President Tinubu,” Wike said.
He urged other Nigerians still undecided about the Tinubu
administration to follow suit, emphasizing that early support from regions like
the Niger Delta would help them benefit more from ongoing federal programs.
Wike also seized the moment to draw a parallel between
Okowa’s current stance and his own, saying, “What I saw before the 2023
election, others are now seeing and are joining the Renewed Hope train.”
The minister, a former governor of Rivers State, has been a
vocal supporter of President Tinubu since the 2023 elections, often citing
national unity and development as his primary motivations.
The endorsement by Okowa, who ran alongside PDP presidential
candidate Atiku Abubakar, is being viewed by analysts as a significant
political development in the country’s post-election landscape.
