The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed claims of being double faced in his dealing with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Wike claimed that from the beginning he made it very clear
that he would not support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the PDP
presidential flag bearer in 2023.
Speaking during his monthly media chat in Abuja on Monday,
Wike explained why he opted to work with President Bola Tinubu’s All
Progressives Congress, APC-led government.
He said: “I take exception to people saying I’m double
faced, we must like people who will tell you what they will do and they will do
it.
“I made it clear that I was not going to support Atiku, I
did not attend their meeting after which I did a different thing. I stood for
equity, fairness, and justice that it’s the South that should produce the
presidency in 2023.
“I never hid so the issue of double faced does not arise. If
they said they saw me in their campaign and I went to do a different thing that
would have been double faced.
“From day one I said no, I am not going to support them, who
am I going to support from the South – in my opinion who stand to win the
election, who has the capacity to take away Nigeria from were we where.
“That was my own judgement and I was right, Tinubu won the
election because there was the tendency he was going to win and does he have
the tendency to bring Nigeria out from where it was?”
