I don’t want to be your friend, it’s not by force – Wike blasts FCT Senator, Kingibe
Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory, Nyesom Wike, has told the Senator representing the FCT, Ireti
Kingibe, that he cannot be coerced into becoming her friend.
Wike lambasted the Senator,
accusing her of blackmailing him instead of communicating her problems through
the right channels or better still focusing on her oversight functions.
The former Rivers Governor stated
this in an interview with journalists in Abuja, stating that the lawmaker is
aggrieved because the Senate President snubbed her for the position of the
Senate Committee on FCT.
“I don’t want to be
personal…she’s the Senator for FCT. She went around saying ‘oh, oh Wike is busy
scraping roads…I should leave the roads till when the potholes come?” Wike
said.
