BREAKING: “If the Opportunity Comes”: Wike Speaks on Regret Supporting Tinubu

Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has revealed he has no regret for supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.

Recall that Wike served as the governor of Rivers state before his ministerial appointment.

Wike governed the oil-rich Rivers state for eight years under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) platform but during the 2023 general election, he fell out with the PDP flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar and supported Tinubu.

He was later called by Tinubu to serve as FCT minister in the All Progressives Congress (APC) led federal government.

I have no apologies for supporting Tinubu, says Wike

Speaking during a thanksgiving service in Ochigba by the PDP in Ahoada East and West local government areas of the state, Wike thanked President Tinubu for believing in him.

As reported by Channels TV, the FCT minister said that he was threatened before the presidential elections for supporting Tinubu.

He added that he would do the same thing if another opportunity comes.

“I have no regrets, I have no apologies. If the opportunity comes I will do the same thing,” he said.
