The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom
Wike, on Monday, said so many people wanted him to fail during the
just-concluded local government election in the capital city.
Wike said, despite their efforts, he was able to make them
realize that he is “old in this game”.
The minister spoke while fielding questions during his
monthly media chat in Abuja.
Told that it seemed he overshadowed the All Progressives
Congress campaign council during the FCT election, Wike said: “No. What do you
mean by overshadowing? You were there when the deputy Speaker said with the
performance of the Minister they had no problem, that my performance made them
win the election.
“With all due respect, I’ll like to thank Governor
Abdulrahman and Governor Dapo Abiodun. They were very concerned and gave me the
necessary support.
“So many people wanted me to fail, but we had to tell them
that we’re old in this game. I also commend Governor Ododo for coordinating
Abaji LGA in the election.”
