FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has defended his meeting with APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, dismissing political conspiracy theories in favor of personal freedom of association.
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has dismissed the controversy surrounding his visit to APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, according to Vanguard. Speaking during a road inspection in Karu on Wednesday, Wike maintained he does not practice “politics of enmity” and clarified that the visit was a reciprocal gesture between former ministerial colleagues.
“We were all colleagues before he left for the chairmanship of APC. So, what I should do anytime I see him is to hide?” he queried. Wike asserted that he is under no obligation to disclose private social interactions, adding, “What’s important to me is what I’m doing for my people.” Despite remaining a PDP member while serving in the Tinubu cabinet, the Minister insisted his priority is delivering results rather than managing what “somebody on the road is thinking.”
