The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, asserts that he stands by his decision to support Bola Tinubu’s presidential candidacy without any regrets.
Wike, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), endorsed Bola Tinubu from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 election, resulting in the APC securing victory in the oil-rich state for the first time.
Even months after Tinubu’s win and subsequent appointment of Wike as a minister, the former Rivers State governor remains steadfast in his support, undeterred by criticism.
“I stand for it. I have no regret at all and that is why I will continue to support the government of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu,” he said during a visit to the APC Zonal Vice President Victor Giadom in his Bera hometown of Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
“I have no regrets when I stood by with my colleagues and friends that the presidency must go to the south,” the minister said.
“There was nothing I was not offered. But I said no. That is why I will continue to support the government of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu. As I am going back home, I am going with the satisfaction that my friend is back.”
