Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has reacted to Sokoto South Senator, Aminu Tambuwal’s recent interview where he cast aspersions on him and Present Bola Tinubu.

Wike vowed never to allow Tambuwal’s diatribe against him and Tinubu go unresponded to, stressing that he will respond in due course.

Recall that in an interview on Friday, Tambuwal had said he would choose former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of Tinubu to lead Nigeria in 2027.

The former Sokoto State governor also said he would choose Atiku ahead of Wike to lead Nigeria.

However, Wike said he would reveal to Nigerians what betrayal is and what it means to have integrity.

The Minister’s remark was contained in a statement by his Media Aide, Lere Olayinka.

The statement reads: “I have been inundated with calls, especially from journalists, seeking the Minister’s reaction.

“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.”
