Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said that he will only support any candidate who supports President Bola Tinubu, irrespective of political party in the forthcoming FCT Area Council elections scheduled for Saturday, February 21.
Wike stated this in Abuja on Saturday during Senator Sandy Onor’s 60th birthday, a celebration of six decades of scholarship, leadership, service and meaningful impact.
The Minister, who said he owed no one an apology for supporting Tinubu, promised to support any candidate that supports the President irrespective of party affiliation.
“We have the FCT Area Council elections coming up on February 21 and I have a duty to support any candidate that supports President Tinubu to win.
“It is also my duty to ensure that any candidate that is not supporting Tinubu does not win in the election, and I owe no apology on my stand,” Wike said.
Speaking on the celebrant, the FCT Minister described him as a credible ally, a trustworthy friend and good brother.
According to him, Onor was not just a friend but a reliable friend, even in times of trouble, saying that is when one would know who is a friend.
“I will continue to be with you and work with you, because I know even if I am not alive today, you will not abandon my family,” Wike said.
