Wike will respond to Tambuwal at appropriate time — Aide

Nyesom Wike’s aide, Lere Olayinka, has stated that the FCT Minister, will respond to former Sokoto Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, at the appropriate time.

This comes after Tambuwal’s comments on Channels Television’s “Politics Today” last Friday, where he said his political choices are guided by principles of leadership and not personal relationships, and that he would support Atiku Abubakar over Wike for the country’s leadership.

Olayinka said that Wike will not let Tambuwal’s “diatribe” against him and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu go unresponded to.

He added that the minister will “tell Nigerians what a betrayal is and what it means to have integrity.”

Olayinka’s statement was made on Monday night, following numerous calls from journalists seeking the minister’s reaction.

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.“
