An old video of immediate past Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike saying he did not intend to become a minister after his tenure as governor is trending online.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the video has resurfaced following the release of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ministerial list, which includes Wike’s name.
In the video, Wike said, “Only one person can be a minister from a state; I will not be a minister. I will not. I am not a liability; Rivers State is an asset. So if you don’t want to win an election, it’s your business. I’m not the one running the election. He who wears the shoes knows where it pinches him.“
Wike’s statement in the video appears to contradict his current status as a ministerial nominee.
The other nominees on Tinubu’s list include three other ex-governors, 24 other individuals.
