The FCT Minister
in Nigeria, Nyesom Wike, has reiterated that he has no regrets about his actions during the 2023 presidential election, where he worked against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Wike denied accusations of anti-party activities, particularly his refusal to support PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Wike defended his decision, stating:
“For the presidential election, I said I am going to support equity, fairness, and justice. For presidential, I have no apologies because I don’t believe in injustice.”
Wike, alongside four other aggrieved PDP governors, had demanded that Senator Iyorchia Ayu step down as PDP’s national chairman before they could support Atiku. Despite this, Atiku lost to Bola Tinubu, under whose government Wike now serves as a minister.
