Senator Oshiomhole
The lawmaker representing Edo North Senatorial District, Adams Oshiomhole, has said Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, is supporting President Bola Tinubu and not the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Oshiomhole made the remark on Tuesday during an interview on TVC.
His comment followed the recent disagreement between Wike and some APC governors after the FCT minister described some of the governors as “politically lazy.”
The former Edo State governor clarified that while the FCT Minister is not a member of the APC, he has repeatedly expressed support for President Tinubu.
“Wike is supporting President Tinubu and not the APC. The position of some of the APC governors and that of the minister is that they are both unanimous. They are all committed to supporting the re-election of President Tinubu.
“I am comfortable with the fact that the two sides are working for the same goal, supporting the President.
“I have not heard any side of the argument suggesting that anyone, including the FCT Minister, is opposed to President Tinubu’s re-election.
“He has said so himself repeatedly that he is not an APC person; he is not a member of the APC, but he supports the President,” Oshiomhole said. (The Sun)
