Wike has stated that Goodluck Jonathan and his wife never made him politically.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday disclosed that former First Lady, Patience Jonathan supported him but asserted that she did not make him politically.
Wike stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
He said, “It would be unfair before the Almighty God to say that Patience Jonathan never supported me, it will be unfair. I don’t have the blood to say somebody who supported me did not, no, I would not.”
In other news, Wike has said he owes no apology for his actions against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 presidential election.
Wike faulted the accusation against him, saying that he engaged in anti-party activities by refusing to support Atiku Abubakar, the then-PDP presidential candidate.
According to him, he only supported equity, fairness and justice.
“For the presidential election, I said I am going to support equity, fairness and justice. In the other one, I am going to support my party and that is why we won the governor, National Assembly election.
“For presidential, I have no apologies because I don’t believe in injustice. Today people say ‘discipline Wike, he did anti-party.’ I did not do anti-party,” Wike said.
