The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, will in due course give an appropriate response to remarks made last Friday by former Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, according to his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka.
In a statement on Monday, Olayinka said the Minister would not allow Tambuwal’s latest comments against him and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to go unanswered.
Tambuwal, while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today last Friday, stated that his political decisions had always been guided by principles of leadership rather than personal ties. He added that if given a choice, he would support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over Wike to lead the country.
Responding, the FCT Minister’s spokesperson said:
“I have been inundated with calls, especially from journalists, seeking the Minister’s reaction.
“Apart from what he said against the Minister, Tambuwal also cast aspersions on President Tinubu and such will not go unresponded to.
“Therefore, what I can say is that the Minister will respond accordingly. He will definitely tell Nigerians what a betrayal is and what it means to have integrity.
“Till then, let’s keep our fingers crossed.”
