The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has stated that he does not need to lobby to be made Director-General (DG) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).
The Minister who was reacting to remarks on social media, reiterated his unflinching support for the reelection of President Bola Tinubu, adding that he does not need to be the DG or even member of the President’s Campaign Council to deliver and ensure that the President wins massively in Rivers State and the FCT.
A report in some sections of the media had listed the FCT minister among top party chieftains and government officials lobbying or being mentioned for the position of the APC Presidential Campaign Council DG.
However, reacting through his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the FCT described the report as false, saying he did not at any time discuss leadership or even membership of the Presidential Campaign Council with anyone.
“I am outside Nigeria, resting and relaxing after spending over 30 days, commissioning projects, flagging off new ones and inspecting ongoing ones, especially those scheduled for commissioning in December and January, next year.
“When I return, our focus will be the continuous delivery of our mandate in line with the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda and to further enhance his electoral fortune in Rivers State and the FCT.
“Therefore, I do not need to be the DG or even member of the Presidential Campaign Council of Mr President’s political party to contribute my quota by ensuring that he wins handsomely in Rivers State and the FCT.”
