The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has pledged unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu’s second term.
The Senior Special Assistant to the minister on Public Communications and Social Media, Mr Lere Olayinka, said Wike made the pledge on Saturday while meeting PDP stakeholders.
Wike attended an end-of-year thanksgiving service organised by former Deputy Speaker of the House, Mr Chibudom Nwuche.
Addressing stakeholders, Wike said their struggle would not be in vain, urging them to continue supporting Tinubu despite what he described as intimidation in the state.
He recalled openly backing Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election, even when support was difficult in Rivers. (NAN)
Wike said he would continue supporting the President now that conditions were easier, stressing that early supporters were recognised after Tinubu’s victory.
“I want to thank you for standing with us all through these years. We know those who are ungrateful,” he said.
He said political courage was required in 2023, when many were unsure of Tinubu’s chances and feared openly supporting him.
“In politics, you must take a stand, believing that at the end of the day, it will be good. Now, it is good,” Wike said.
