Wike to Address Tambuwal’s “Betrayal” Claims – Aide

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, will in due course respond to comments made by former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, concerning him and President Bola Tinubu.

Mr. Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant to the Minister on Public Communications and Social Media, disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja.

He assured that the minister would not allow Tambuwal’s remarks against him and the President to go unanswered.

Tambuwal, speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, said his political choices had always been guided by principles of leadership rather than personal relationships. He also stated that, if given a choice, he would support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of Wike to lead the country.

Olayinka explained that he had received several calls, particularly from journalists, requesting the minister’s reaction to Tambuwal’s position.

“Apart from what he said against the minister, Tambuwal also cast aspersions on President Tinubu and such will not go unresponded to.

“Therefore, what I can say is that the minister will respond accordingly. He will definitely tell Nigerians what a betrayal is and what it means to have integrity.

“Till then, let’s keep our fingers crossed,” he said.
