Coming From a Liar — Nigerians Knock Wike Over ‘’The Kind of Money Governors Have Now, I Never Saw It’ Comment

Nyesom Wike, Bola Tinubu’s Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, is facing backlash from Nigerians over his comment about governors having a lot of money now, which he said he never saw.

The criticism comes after Wike made the remark on Monday during his end-of -the-year media chat.

‘’Money can make you not see well, the kind of money governors have now, we never saw it. This is why most of them make mistakes, they think everything is about money. Money has its own limitations; there are areas money can’t reach, but goodwill can’’

Wike’s comments were not specifically directed at any governor, however, there are augments that the former Rivers Governor could be referring to his former ally, Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde following their recent impasse.

Some also argue that the former River governor could be referring to his successor, Siminalayi Fubara, whom he recently criticised for publicly stating that he met about N600 billion in state coffers after the lifting of emergency rule.

In the video shared on X and sighted by Parallel Facts news where Wike made the claims, a cross section of Nigerians slammed the FCT minister for lying, saying his comments represent nothing but deception.

This Wike never sleep ever since Fubara decamped to APC.

Wike the disaster, Fubura is ahead

ElevationD:
The same man who as a sitting governor purchased the forms of all the members of the state and National Assembly in his state. The same man who has not so far mentioned his source of wealth.

“We never saw money Governors are seeing now”
So he saw money as a Governor.

Anyway, that’s for his supporters to rejoice over.

Last weekend, Nairaland members told me that Seyi Tinubu was born into wealth because his father was a billionaire. I asked them for the work his father did, they told me I was jealous, I should tell my dad to go and be a billionaire and all balablue explanations. They told me his father funded NADECO, one even said that if you know what his father made when he was in USA, the same man who told us he was a gypsy cab driver and he will never forget how a Naval officer slapped him Then they told us he worked for Deloitte as an auditor, he worked for Mobil, he was a Senator 🤡🤡😂😂😂😂
