After Tinubu, I’m Nigeria’s most abused politician, says Wike

Nyesom Wike (Minister of  FCT Abuja)

Chief Nyesom Wike, the Minister for Abuja, has said that he is the most insulted politician in the country, second only to President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking last weekend at a thanksgiving service in Rivers State, the Minister also announced that he will begin his political activities in the state in January 2026. The event was held at the home of Prince Chibudom Nwuche, a former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The former governor insisted that he always keeps his promises and remains fully committed to supporting President Tinubu. He also took the opportunity to thank the local people of Ahoada East and Ahoada West for their continued support.

He said: “This is the first local government we are coming to say thank you for being there for us all through these years

“You know, like the pastor said today, God detests those who are ungrateful. And so for what you’ve done for us, for standing with us, we say thank you. Thank you, and thank you.

“You remember, in 2023, when it was tough, nobody knows what will happen in that election. Somebody was saying that it will be difficult for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to win that election.

“So many people were not able to come and vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. But we all met, as leaders here, and you, to say in politics, we must take a stand and defend it; that we must take a decision, whether it is good or bad.

But we know at the end of the day it will be good. But we did it. When it was tough for people to say on your mandate we stand, we stood firm and said on your mandate we stand and to the glory of God, we stood.

“And today he is the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

He thanked the people for standing firm, saying,” so you are the ones who made the mandate to be strong as far as Rivers State is concerned. “

Wike criticised people who failed to support President Tinubu when things were difficult, only to switch sides and join his party now that things are going well.
