The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday, said President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, was targeted as part of plans to give a bad name to the current administration.
Wike made the remark in response to the corruption saga
involving the purported Director-General of the controversial Presidential
Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC, Adeniyi Adeyemi, and
Gbajabiamila.
Speaking during his monthly media chat in Abuja on Thursday,
the Minister said Adeyemi should be interrogated because Gbajabiamila can’t be
involved in such a fraud.
According to Wike: “I was the Chief of Staff to the
government and without any prejudice, I know the Chief of Staff very well and
without prejudice he did not. There are people you target in government to give
a bad name to your boss. You see the Chief of Staff, the person in charge of
finance, and Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
“If you want to embarrass any government, these are the
targets first; if you get to the Chief of Staff, the government would have been
embarrassed.
“Does it make sense that an agency that does not exist, he
would now tell you to give him money? It’s madness. Is it the responsibility of
the Chief of Staff to create a budget? If the young man knows that he’s correct, why are you running away?
“How can you come out to make such a statement, and you are
running away from your life? He needs to be interrogated.”
The Minister also dismissed the position of the African
Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the saga.
He said: “The demand by Atiku and co is neither here nor
there, and it’s rubbish. When he was the VP, was it what he did? Let him hold on,
you say that you will be elected as president, when you come, if ever you will
come, then you can introduce those things that you want to introduce.”
