Mr Bola Tinubu and Wike
Barrister Nysom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory—FCT, has disclosed that he got the approval of the leadership of his party, PDP before accepting to serve in President Tinubu’s cabinet.
The former governor of Rivers State said this during the inaugural press briefing yesterday.
Wike was reacting to report that he could be sanctioned by his party for accepting to serve in the government of APC.
He said, “They said they’ll sanction me that I took an appointment — that’s ridiculous,.”
“The president wrote to all the 36 state governors to bring names of people to appoint. Didn’t PDP governors submit names?
“Every PDP governor wrote a letter and nominated 10 persons for appointments in this [Tinubu’s] government.
“Before this appointment came, I wrote to the national party chairman, minority leader of the house of representatives and senate, zonal chairman of the party, my state chairman, and my governor,” Mr Wike added.
“All of them wrote me back: ‘Accept it’. I have it in evidence documented.”
