Reiterating his dedication to the Tinubu administration’s success, Wike clarified that the pursuit of justice was the primary rationale behind his and the G5 governors’ endorsement of Tinubu’s bid for president.
“Tinubu made me the FCT minister and I won’t allow anybody to crumble our political structure,” declared Wike. No! Tinubu made me minister; people do not understand. I have character.
“What will happen in 2027? I stood and I said I am not going to support injustice. I was threatened that they will do me this and that. They tried many options, including using Major Generals.”
