The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Friday declared that he’s not the spokesman of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The minister explained that his monthly media chat is to inform the public about his work in the FCT.

He spoke during his monthly media act in response to activist politician, Omoyele Sowore’s claim that the Presidency barred him from holding the parley.

Wike said, “Of course, I am not speaking for government, I am letting the world know what we are doing under the Tinubu’s administration.

“I am Minister of Federal Capital Territory and I owe a duty to let the public know what is happening within the territory, what we are about to do, and what we are going to do in the future, which is my responsibility.”

Wike also stressed that he never fell sick and flown abroad for medical treatment, as claimed by Sowore.

He said: “I am not a spokesperson for the government, I am not talking about different government. I am talking about activities of the ministry, of the FCT. If I don’t do, whose responsibility is it?

“He talked about somebody being sick, we are all human beings, anybody can fall sick any time but it’s unfortunate too, I never fell sick to be flown abroad. So these are things you don’t need to pay attention to.

“And then somebody said, the president banned me from having a media chat. It’s the same junk News that they will carry. Who is responsible for this?

“The same man who is collecting money from people. SaharaReporters carried this and that. How will a president ban you from letting people know, letting the public know, of what the administration is doing, particularly as it pertains to the FCT territory?

“So it’s not everything you read or whatever you hear you begin to take seriously.”

Sowore is only grandstanding with his recent vituperations against this tinubu govt.....he knows he is toast if the govt decides to come fir him and he will be made to pay for libel so much he wouldn't even be able to raise a finger,also treason can easily be hung on him.....he knows this,he is only gaslighting the govt and masquerading his own fears.

His emergency love for mnk reeks hypocrisy all over,they have and share no common interests......how can you on the one hand seek to be elected president of Nigeria and at the same time espousing the interest of a separatist.....those who understands what he is up to knows this and can easily see through him that's why he deserves no attention whatsoever.
