Video: Nigerians React To What Wike Did To Old Secondary Schoolmate In Rivers State

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, bumped into an old secondary schoolmate during a visit to Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Naija News reported that on Saturday, Wike reconciled with the south-south Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Victor Giadom.

In a video making rounds online, Wike while addressing the residents of the LGA, saw the male schoolmate and called him out.

The former governor of Rivers State gesticulated to his aide to get him something, after which the man was handed a bundle of cash.

Some Nigerians reacted to the video, with some commending Wike’s gesture, while others claimed getting the man a good job was worth more than the immediate monetary reward.

Apparently, he isn’t prepared for the opportunity and has nothing else to offer than to bow, bow and bow take the peanut, wave and go!!”
