The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said he will soon respond to remarks made by former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal.

Wike’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.

According to him, the Minister will not allow Tambuwal’s recent comments against him and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to go unanswered.

Tambuwal, speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today last Friday, said his political choices have always been guided by principles of leadership rather than personal relationships. He added that if given the choice, he would support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of Wike to lead the country.

Reacting, Olayinka 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 betrayal is and what it means to have integrity. Till then, let’s keep our fingers crossed.”
