The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has described as a blatant lie claims by Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, that he promised to hold down the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
According to Wike, who spoke during a media parley on Monday, there was never a meeting of such with President Tinubu where he made such a promise.
Naijaonpoint reports that Makinde, during a recent press conference in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, took a swipe at Wike, stating that others should be allowed to freely choose who they’ll support politically.
He explained that Wike cannot dictate political choices to others.
According to Makinde, he was in a meeting with Wike, President Tinubu and a few others when the former Rivers State Governor declared that he would hold the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Tinubu in 2027.
The Oyo State Governor said Wike’s statement shocked him, and he (Makinde) won’t be part of such plans.
However, Wike has debunked such claims.
The FCT Minister added that Makinde has never called him Wike to his face.
