Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has claimed he is the most insulted politician in Nigeria after President Bola Tinubu.
He made the statement on Saturday during a meeting with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders in Ochigba, Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The gathering was part of an end-of-year thanksgiving service organized by former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chibudom Nwuche, in his hometown.
Several party leaders and supporters were in attendance.
Why I Face Abuse – Wike
Wike explained that he faces criticism because he insists on enforcing agreements that protect the interests of his followers.
“After Tinubu, the next most abused politician today is me. Why are they abusing me? Because they know that agreement is agreement,” he said.
Insisting on Agreement Fulfillment
The FCT Minister stressed the importance of implementing agreements once made.
“When we have agreed on something, let’s implement it. If we can’t implement it, don’t even come for it,” he added.
Unwavering Support for Tinubu
Wike assured his supporters that his commitment to backing President Tinubu remains unchanged.
“For us, long before now, we have agreed that we must make sure that we will continue to support Tinubu. That is the position you took and that is the position we are going to still take,” he stated.
He added that his political moves are guided by ensuring that his followers are not left behind and that their interests are considered in all agreements.
