Resign as minister, face your obsession with Rivers – APC National Secretary slams Wike

By Vanessa Onah


The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Ajibola Basiru, has slammed Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, urging him to resign from his ministerial position and face his “obsession with Rivers politics and the APC”.

In a statement on Monday, Basiru declared that Wike has no standing to involve himself in any APC political matters until he formally joins the party.

He also rejected Wike’s claim that he is motivated by the N600 billion in the coffers of Rivers State government, emphasizing that he is not an opportunist and has consistently taken principled positions.

“From my record, he (Wike) isn’t a member of APC. I don’t see which authority or temerity he has to be dabbling in APC affairs.

“I am the National Secretary of APC and I don’t see any basis for him to be making comments about my activities either in Rivers State or in any part of Nigeria.

“As the National Secretary of the party, my activities aren’t confined to Osun State contrary to his wrong impression. I am the head of the National Secretariat of the APC.

“So, he has no locus whatsoever to engage me in any political activity that concerns the APC until he joins the party.

“Secondly, I take strong exception to his allusion that I am interested in the N600 billion allocations of Rivers State. My records of service are those of integrity and commitment to service.

“I am not an opportunist, and I have never shied away from taking principled positions on any matter, no matter whose ox is gored.

“As to his veiled threat against me, I am a believer in God, that only God can do something for anybody, no matter how highly placed.

“I am one of the young Nigerians that confronted military dictatorship. I can’t be bullied by anybody, no matter how highly placed. My records as national secretary are above board, and I can’t be queried by somebody who isn’t a member of APC.

“Finally, my advice to him is that he should resign as Minister and face his obsession with Rivers politics,” Basiru said in the statement.

Perhaps Nyesom Wike does not know that his cup is full. The grandiosity he carries is legendary.

E don happen! The giant with feet of clay is beginning to crumble o. But where are Tinubu's NL resident lackeys sef? Seunmsg, NgeneUkwenu, come o!

Very good. Call that swashbuckle drunkard to order

Only you dey fight everybody. There must be something wrong with you

Wike too like trouble. I trust my president to put him in his place at the right time. APC is a party that can not be spoiled by one person like PDP.

Tinubu till 2034

Tinubu don baff? Let him try it and see! Wike will bring the house down on everybody.

that's the results of emperor defeat. Wike is a goner. He can never crumble well structured APC. He can only destroyed PDP but not APC.

Bring down which house?
You can't be in another house and be able to set fire on another inside. Tinubu has proven to be a master planner for ages so wait for heartbreak cos everything happening now has already been calculated and plans are set accordingly in Tinubu head.

Gbam.
That is just it

Let's wait for Wike to return the punch.

Wike should calm down and stop overplaying his hand.

The situation of recent with Wike is baffling to say the least. In a way, the National Secretary is right, because only APC members should even be questioning him.

As for the Hon minister, I don't know what to say. The whole situation of recent is just somehow, especially for a serving government official. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Lol, eyes go soon clear, ask Ganduje, las las wike will be partiless, and APC will rally round Fubara, icajtwait to witness the fallout between Wike and Tinubu and APC...
