‘I Didn’t Come With APC Crew’ – Wike Speaks On Tinubu’s Victory At Supreme Court

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday, downplayed his presence at the Supreme Court.

Naija News reports that Wike spoke to journalists after the Supreme Court delivered judgement in the appeals filed by Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party against President Bola Tinubu’s election.

The minister said he was at the court as an interested Nigerian, stressing that he was not with the All Progressives Congress (APC) crew.

According to Wike, all speculations have ended, with the verdict adding that Tinubu can now focus on delivering the dividends of democracy to Nigerians.

He said, “I didn’t come with APC crew, and in the court, there is nowhere they said APC and PDP. I came here as somebody interested and who wants the country to move forward.

“I congratulate Mr President as this has come to an end; no more speculation. He can focus and do what he needs to do for Nigerians.”

Tinubu Appointed Wike Minister Because He Does Not Want To Betray Him

Meanwhile, a former lawmaker representing the Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, on Wednesday, revealed why President Bola Tinubu appointed Nyesom Wike as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.

According to Sani, Tinubu appointed Wike as a minister because the President does not want to betray the former Rivers State Governor for working for him in the 2023 general elections.

He called on Wike to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and focus on the All Progressives Congress (APC) rather than playing games with the two parties.

The former lawmaker said this will give Wike the opportunity to work excellently for President Tinubu as the FCT Minister and without distractions.

Sani revealed these in an interview with Arewa Punch.
