Nyesom Wike, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party is now the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
The Punch reported that Edwin Clark, in an exclusive interview said; " (Nyesom) Wike trusted him so much that he made him accountant general. So that he would look after the state’s money. So, that is the thing. Several times the EFCC wanted to arrest Wike but because he enjoyed immunity, they couldn’t."

He added; "So, they decided to arrest the accountant general and some others. But Wike protected them and prevented the EFCC from going in. I think there is a case in court to that effect."
The former federal commissioner for Information stated further; "But now Wike no longer enjoys immunity. So, he could be arrested any day. But if he allows Fubara’s government to continue, as far as he is concerned, he doesn’t know what will follow."
