The lawmaker representing the Federal Capital Territory at the National Assembly, Senator Ireti Kingibe, has dismissed the speculation that her political career is under threat by the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike.
She said Wike had “no say” whether she would return to the Senate or not in the 2027 general elections.
According to her, the former Rivers State governor can neither make her win nor lose, as the fate of candidates in elections in the FCT is determined by the voters.
“The truth of the matter is that from (former President Olusegun) Obasanjo to now, hardly anybody controls how the people of the FCT vote.
“Minister Awike cannot make me win, nor can he make me lose, just like he cannot impose anybody on the FCT.
“The FCT is not structured that way. So I’m absolutely not threatened by him,” she added.
