Politicians have urged President Bola Tinubu to call the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Nyesom Wike, to order following his threat to block the re-election of the lone senator of the nation’s capital, Ireti Kingibe, in 2027.
The Labour Party (LP) has demanded a reprimand of the minister, reminding him that while he is just an appointee of the president, Kingibe was elected by the people of the territory.
Giving this position in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune on Tuesday, the Chairman of LP in the FCT, Peter Dugwu, also affirmed that Wike’s attack on the senator was an attack on LP under which she was elected.
