The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has spoken about a past discussion with the 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Tonye Cole.
Naija News reports that Wike, while appearing on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’, stated that Cole approached him immediately after discovering his clash with the Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara.
According to Wike, Cole had indicated interest in working with him, and when he questioned him about his loyalty to the former Governor of the State, Rotimi Amaechi, the APC chieftain said, “He doesn’t care about Amaechi and Amaechi cannot tell him what to do.”
Wike added, “I saw the clips one Pastor Tonye Cole said I’m confusing, he should continue to be confused. At my level of politics, we are not on the same level.
“Immediately, Tonye Cole saw that me and Fubara had issues, he came to my house, we sat at my swimming pool side.
“He said he has come so that we can work together, I asked him what about his loyalty to Amaechi, he said he doesn’t care about Amaechi and Amaechi cannot tell him what to do. Imagine such a character.”
In related news, Tonye Cole has opined that Rivers State and Lagos used to be at par, but they are now distinct.
Cole made the statement while speaking on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, ‘Morning Brief’.
According to Tonye Cole, Rivers is no longer at par with Lagos due to poor governance and regressive politics in the state.
