Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s aide, Laolu Akande has bared his mind on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Laolu said: “What is happening in Rivers State is very disappointing. Look, a lot of people had deep respect for the FCT Minister… you can easily see that Wike was the kind of guy that got it done and he got the reputation.”
“He was called Mr. Project and all that. There’s quite a bit of political regard that you’ve to give to Wike.”
“I think in this country today, after the President, Nyesom Wike is the most prominent politician.”
“So, when somebody has attained that level of political relevance, it means you really have to carry yourself with a lot of grace, with a lot of measured management of the expectations around you.”
“It is disappointing that the FCT Minister is not managing his own anointed governor and the responsibility is more on him than the governor. Wike is the senior partner in this matter and it is not good for him.”
