Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has berated Seyi Makinde of Oyo state for calling him by his first name “Wike".
The FCT Minister said it’s a mark of disrespect for the Oyo
Governor to have addressed him by his father’s name.
Wike stated this on Monday while fielding questions during
his monthly media parley in Abuja.
Wike’s outburst followed claim by Makinde that Wike had
promised to hold the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for President Bola Tinubu
in 2027, a claim Wike denied.
Wike claimed that Makinde was not being truthful about what
transpired during the alleged meeting and as well persons who were in
attendance.
Wike said: “He didn’t mention former governor of Benue was
in the meeting. He didn’t mention former governor of Abia. He didn’t mention
former governor of Enugu.
“What was the purpose of that meeting? Who called for the
meeting? Did the President call you for the meeting?
“We went and said, look, we want to see President. And the
President said, okay, come to the house. We went to the house as usual. And we
said, Sir, we are still available. We still work together.
“So what is the issue of saying that we had a meeting?
“To start with, Seyi you cannot, he does not have what it
takes to tell me that. He does not. He knows.
“He has never called me Wike. And to hell with him. You
heard him say $1 million. Did he pay my school fees? That’s a disrespect.
“That is my father’s name. He can’t do that. He has never
done that. He doesn’t have what it takes. Forget he’s a governor.”
