Wike Attributes Rift With Makinde To Denied Ministerial Appointment

Wale busari04 mins

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revealed that tensions with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde began after Makinde was denied a ministerial appointment in President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Wike shared the details during a media briefing on Monday, providing insights into the underlying political issues within the G5 group, a coalition of former and serving governors who collaborated during the 2023 elections. According to Wike, the disagreement emerged when Makinde’s nominee was not given a ministerial slot, despite prior expectations within the group. “What we are dealing with today is that he was not given any ministerial slot,” Wike said. “Even when he was expressing it, his anger was visible. He didn’t need to tell anyone; we could see it. We told him, ‘calm down.’” Wike added that efforts were made to explain the circumstances behind the appointments, including visits to President Tinubu, in an attempt to pacify Makinde. “We went back home and explained why we met the President. We told him to take it easy, noting that there were certain factors he may not have considered. But something had to be done,” he said. Despite these efforts, Wike said Makinde appeared to have “already made up his mind,” making reconciliation difficult. Wike also recalled an earlier incident that, in his view, reflected Makinde’s temperament. “I remember when the Rivers State Government held a reception for me. Former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom spoke and said they were going to support the President for a second term,” Wike said. “But the next day, Seyi Makinde responded, questioning Ortom’s statement. I called him and said that even if Ortom spoke, he didn’t need to go that far. A simple response could have been, ‘Let’s call a day; it’s too early for that kind of statement.’” Wike compared Makinde’s reactions to someone who achieves success too quickly and lacks patience. “Sometimes when you make your first one million dollars, you react too early. You forget that Dangote didn’t make his first million overnight, but today he is the richest man in Africa,” he noted.

Wike Declares Backing Tinubu Won’t Guarantee Fubara 2027 Governorship Ticket

Wale busari05 mins

Former Rivers State Governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has declared that backing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not automatically secure Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara a ticket for the 2027 governorship election. Wike made the statement over the weekend during a visit to Emohua Local Government Area, in what is widely seen as a new escalation in his ongoing political feud with Fubara. The two leaders have been at odds for years over control of Rivers State politics, a conflict that previously led to the burning of the State House of Assembly complex and prompted President Tinubu to declare a six-month state of emergency in the state. The crisis also resulted in the defection of 27 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers loyal to Wike to the All Progressives Congress (APC), triggering multiple court battles. Additionally, several caretaker committee chairmen aligned with Fubara defected to the Action People’s Party (APP) ahead of local government elections and went on to win their seats. During the height of the standoff, President Tinubu reportedly brokered a peace agreement between Wike and Fubara, with sources claiming that one condition of the settlement was that Fubara would not contest the 2027 governorship election. Following the end of the state of emergency in September and the reinstatement of the deputy governor and lawmakers, political observers expected calm to return. Earlier this month, Fubara officially defected from the PDP to the APC after meeting President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. He later announced his defection at a Government House event in Port Harcourt, pledging his support for the President, days after some state assembly members had also joined the APC. Responding to Fubara’s defection, Wike downplayed the significance of such support, stressing that aligning with Tinubu does not guarantee electoral success. “The issue is not whether you support Tinubu or not. That decision was taken long ago. Nobody needs to come here to tell me they are for Tinubu. Supporting Tinubu will not earn anyone a ticket,” Wike said. He added, “The Rivers State House of Assembly has done its job. They were the first in Nigeria to declare that, on your mandate, they would stand. So the Tinubu issue is no longer an issue. Who in Rivers State is not for Tinubu? That alone cannot guarantee anyone a ticket. “The same people who recently made public declarations are the same ones who took the Assembly to court seeking to have their seats declared vacant. All those now chanting ‘on your mandate we stand’ failed when it mattered most. They could not vote for Bola Ahmed Tinubu. “We have never wavered in our support for Bola Ahmed Tinubu. When we take decisions, we do so out of conviction, not because of what others are doing.”

Makinde Denies Fayose’s Claims Of Diverting N50 Billion Ibadan Explosion Fund

Wale busari03 mins

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has dismissed claims by former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose that he misappropriated part of a N50 billion federal intervention fund provided after the January 2024 Ibadan explosion, describing the allegations as false, misleading, and politically motivated. Fayose had alleged that Makinde received N50 billion from the federal government but failed to disclose it publicly, claiming that a significant portion was allegedly diverted for political purposes. In response, Makinde’s Special Adviser on Media, Sulaimon Olanrewaju, clarified on Sunday that the federal government released only N30 billion to Oyo State, not N50 billion as claimed. “The federal government did not give Governor Makinde N50 billion. What exists on record is a request and a promise, not a disbursement,” Olanrewaju said, adding that the documents cited to support Fayose’s claim reflected only a proposal, not an actual release of funds. The statement explained that following the January 2024 explosion in Bodija, Ibadan—which caused fatalities and property damage—Governor Makinde traveled to Abuja with a detailed assessment report seeking federal intervention, particularly after President Bola Tinubu did not visit the state. Olanrewaju noted that while the federal government initially promised a N50 billion intervention package, only N30 billion was eventually released. “A promise is not a release. When it was time to act, only N30 billion was released,” he said, adding that the remaining N20 billion was withheld after demands linked to inducements were introduced, which Makinde rejected. He emphasized that the governor deliberately avoided publicizing the negotiations surrounding the tragedy, choosing instead to focus on relief and recovery efforts for affected residents.
