“Instead Of Running Up And Down, Come Out To Support  Tinubu,”  Wike To Opposition

By Ayodele Oni

Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister,  Nyesom Wike, has stated that people, especially opposition members should not wait until they have problem before throwing their support for President Bola Tinubu.

Reacting to the defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) by the former governor of Delta State Ifeanyi Okowa and the incumbent, Wike commended the former People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Vice Presidential Candidate in the 2023 election, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, for supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a statement by his media aide, Lere Olayinka, the minister  said; “It is another endorsement of the president’s good governance and commitment to the development of the country.”

The FCT Minister called on other Nigerians,  who are still sitting on the fence to throw in their support for the President.

He described the open endorsement of the President by Dr Ifeanyi Okowa,  who was the running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar,  as “a vindication of the position I took in 2023, which was based on the interest of a united Nigeria.

“I commend Dr Okowa and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for this heart-warming decision, which must have been informed by good governance and commitment of President Bola Tinubu to the oneness and development of Nigeria.

“That is what I have always told people to come out and say, not when they have problems and begin to run up and down.

“They have come out at the right time to show support for the President so that the people of Niger Delta can benefit more from the government, and I commend them.

“I am particularly happy that what I saw before the 2023 presidential election,  others are now seeing and are joining the Renewed Hope train.”
