The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, will in due course respond to comments made by former Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, about him and President Bola Tinubu.
This was disclosed in a statement on Monday in Abuja by Wike’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Mr. Lere Olayinka.
Olayinka said the minister would not allow the aspersions cast by Tambuwal against him and the President to go unanswered.
Tambuwal, speaking during Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, had said his political choices were always guided by principles of leadership rather than personal ties. He further stated that he would support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over Wike if asked to make a choice on who should lead the country.
Reacting, Olayinka explained that journalists had inundated him with calls seeking Wike’s position on Tambuwal’s comments.
“Beyond his remarks against the minister, Tambuwal also cast aspersions on President Tinubu, and such will not go unresponded to. What I can say is that the minister will respond accordingly. He will definitely tell Nigerians what betrayal is and what it means to have integrity. Until then, let’s keep our fingers crossed,” he said.
