PDP, Fubara approved my ministerial appointment – Wike
In what appeared to be a revelation, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), and Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara approved and accepted his appointment as the FCT minister.
According to Wike, he wrote to the PDP at all levels when President Bola Tinubu offered him the ministerial position.
Speaking on Channels TV programme, Politics Today, Wike claimed that the party and Fubara asked him to accept the position.
“Before I took this appointment, I wrote to the PDP. I wrote to PDP National; I wrote to PDP Zonal; I wrote to PDP in my state.
“My governor also signed a letter that I should take the appointment.
“Yes, it’s true. The zonal party wrote that I should accept,” he said.
Spark News Daily reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu appointed Wike as FCT Minister following his victory at the presidential election in 2023.
However, since the appointment, the former governor fell out with his successor, Governor Fubara, over allegations that he was imposing his choice and rules on the new Governor, resulting to crisis in the state till date.
