The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, will at the appropriate time issue a response to remarks made by former Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal last Friday.
Wike’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, said the Minister would not ignore Tambuwal’s latest comments directed at both him and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
During an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today last Friday, Tambuwal stated that his political decisions had always been based on principles of leadership rather than personal ties.
He further noted that, if given the choice, he would support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of Wike to lead the country.
Reacting to this, Wike’s spokesperson said: “I have been inundated with calls, especially from journalists, seeking the Minister’s reaction.
“Apart from what he said against the Minister, Tambuwal also cast aspersions on President Tinubu and such will not go unresponded to.
“Therefore, what I can say is that the Minister will respond accordingly. He will definitely tell Nigerians what a betrayal is and what it means to have integrity.
“Till then, let’s keep our fingers crossed.”
