As A Student, I Was Using Benz, My Father Was GM Of Many Companies - Wike by Infoguy666(op): 1:39am On Jul 05, 2025

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has opened up about his affluent background, making bold comparisons between himself and his political rival, Rotimi Amaechi, News360 Nigeria reports.

Speaking during a lively interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on July 4, 2025, Wike described their upbringings as worlds apart.

In the conversation with anchor Seun Okinbaloye, Wike revealed that he grew up in comfort and had access to luxury early in life.

He said, “I have a Rolls-Royce; nobody gave it to me. I bought it. I didn’t come from the same background as Amaechi.”

“As a student, I was using a Mercedes Benz.”

“My father was a general manager for many companies.”

A certain extremely popular, corrupt thief has also lied to us that he inherited his stolen wealth from his dirt-poor parents

What Wike is doing isn't new at all, indeed thousands have gone down the path before him

Today you have properties in all the most strategic areas in ph. People's buildings and businesses going down and yours being erected. Of course those apc supporters will say you paid good price for it, but without government power, would wike had been able to push those property owners to let go of it?

It will be very interesting to see what happens when the power is all gone.

And so?

Was your father richer than dantata of blessed memory? Where did you hear about his children this noisy? There are too many reach men that their kids never made noise as you do.

Are you the only child of your parents? If you are not, why are they not as autocratic and noisy as you are? So it boils down to your ego. You need to chill down now because tomorrow is unpredictable.


Come to think of this latest onslaughts why is he this noisy of late?

Amaechi has been around since Tinibu took over from Buhari but no tangible noise was heard from Wike against him.

How come all of a sudden after ADC unveiling, wike chose to disrespect and attacking everything or everyone including his ex-boss?

Is Wike afraid of his fate come 2027?

There's a property located at Gateway Junction, Ada George Ph. A massive site that was recently purchased and reduced to rubble. Word on the street is, they’re planning to build Hypercity supermarket there

Like Tinubu like Wike, very arrogant, prideful and boastful dictators.


I keep wondering why some gullible youths are supporting these despicable group of humans parading themselves as political leaders destroying every fabric of our dear nation in the name of tribalism-politics angry

Re: As A Student, I Was Using Benz, My Father Was GM Of Many Companies - Wike by Raxxye(m): 5:32am On Jul 05, 2025
It's a lie o!
Why not name the companies or even just one of them that your father was managing?

We know him o.
His father was a pastor and founded one small church called Christian Universal Church, with just a few branches(not more than five) within Port Harcourt.
Wike never had a car before contesting as Obio/Akpor LG chairman! He trekked to share his campaign fliers around Rumueme and Rumuepirikom!
