President Bola Ahmed Tinubu threatened to sack the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, if the results of the upcoming FCT elections goes ‘too much in his favour’ and that of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Tinubu, speaking during a dinner held on Saturday evening to celebrate Eid-Al-Fitri, said that he warned the minister that he would lose his Job if he did not make sure the APC emerged victorious in the FCT.
In his words; “Give me any opportunity for my party to win elections in FCT. I know where you are coming from, your own party.”
“If this thing goes too much in your own favor, you will lose your Job”.
Watch below;
Meaning he should rig election for you.
Truthfully, I intended storming out for PDP ahead of 2023 Presidential Elections with my vote, simply and definitely because of Nyesom Wike whose strong character, honesty and wholeheartedness so cherished and admired for a long time, without dilly-dally, and not for the eventual PDP ticket-winner, Atiku Abubakar, whose tricky and unconscientious attitude is a put-off. But, when Nyesom Wike, who had remained the “Pillar” and “Care-giver” to PDP was undeservedly and unilaterally sidelined from being PDP VP candidate by Atiku Abubakar, who would always remain elusive whenever PDP in need and trouble, then my conscience would speak to me as others, to shun and ditch PDP for other Party. Nevertheless, because of his truthfulness and plain-heartedness, Nyesom Wike shall always remain triumphant no matter the bundle of hurdles in his way!
