The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, declared his unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 general elections without any reservations.
Wike, who previously served as governor of Rivers State under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was appointed as FCT Minister by Tinubu in the APC-led Federal Government.
During a thanksgiving service in Ochigba organized by the PDP in Ahoada East and West Local Government Areas, Wike expressed his gratitude to Tinubu for his belief in him. Despite facing threats for his support in the presidential elections, Wike affirmed that he would stand by Tinubu again given the chance.
“I have no regrets, I have no apologies. If the opportunity comes I will do the same thing,” he said.
The Minister also debunked allegations of land grabbing levelled against him by some residents of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
According to him, the right things must be done, stressing that those in possession of government land must do the right thing or risk having their plots of land revoked.
The former Rivers State governor described as laughable the allegation of land grabbing levelled against him.
“I am in charge of lands in Abuja, how will I go and grab what I am in charge of.
“We must thank Mr President, if he did not give us this opportunity, we wouldn’t have known. Here in Rivers State, we thought it was difficult.
“When you go to the capital, you know you are dealing with the entire Nigerians.
“I can assure you, no matter the cry you cry, no matter the propaganda you carry, if you like give me any name you want to give me, the right thing must be done,” he added
