Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has stated that former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike “must serve” in President Bola Tinubu’s Cabinet because he (Wike) has what it takes to be a minister.
While speaking in an interview with Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Fayose noted that Tinubu should appreciate members of the G5 or Integrity Group within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for their role in his victory in the February 25th presidential election.
He said “I want Wike to be in cabinet. Wike has what it takes to serve Nigeria. Wike is an articulate, capacity person. Nigeria needs (an) average bad person. I support Wike. If Asiwaju finds him or any of the G5 worthy, please serve in Asiwaju’s government.
Ayo Fayose, former Ekiti State Governor, has stated that he has no regrets fighting ‘one hundred percent’ against the Peoples…
“I will be disappointed if Asiwaju does not equally appreciate them for what they stand to represent. Wike must serve. Wike is still a young man. I’m his senior brother, he can’t deny that. Wike is an asset to Nigeria. Wike is never timid, he confronts challenges. Asiwaju needs a man like Wike.”
He further started that the G5 has no intention of defecting from the PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). However, he stated that the PDP leadership must first clean house before moving forward.
He said, “The former governor of Benue (Samuel Ortom) is the oldest by his age. If he is still decamping, his children must disown him. The Wike I know, forget that Wike will leave the PDP.”
Tinubu, who took office as Nigeria’s President on May 29, 2023, is required to name his cabinet within 60 days after taking office.
