The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that Nigerians know where he stands regarding his support for President Bola Tinubu.
Wike said he doesn’t need any form of meeting to confess his support to Tinubu.
He disclosed this during end-of-year media chat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he dismissed an allegation against him by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.
Recall that Makinde recently told journalists that Wike, during a visit to the State House in 2024, promised to “hold PDP” for Tinubu.
Wike dismissed Makinde’s claim, stressing that the meeting they held with the President had nothing to do with PDP, but to show support for his leadership.
“Seyi said I told Tinubu that I will hold PDP for him. Nothing like that happened.
“Everyone knows my stand on Tinubu, I don’t need a meeting to tell him that.
“As a minister, I have a duty to ensure that members of the G-5 benefitted from the Tinubu administration in one way or the other.”
Wike maintained that the Oyo governor owed his people a duty to tell them how the N50 billion intervention funds from Tinubu meant for the January 2024 explosion in Bodija area of the state was spent.
He noted that such money should have been appropriated before spending.
