The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Monday mocked his critics over the outcome of the local government election in Rivers State.
Wike said contrary to critics, he influenced the outcome of the election in his local government (Obi Akpor) which saw the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP winning.
Speaking during his monthly media chat in Abuja, Wike said some people are angry that he didn’t influence other areas during the election.
He said: “So, Wike is very popular today, is it not the same people I hear in Arise, AIT, and Channels that look, Wike can’t say he is going to determine what happens in others, he can only determine what happens in his local government.
“I have determined in my own local government, I’m a member of PDP and won in my local government
“You blow hot and cold, I have influenced and campaigned for my people to vote for PDP and my people have voted for PDP.
“Now you are angry that APC won in the other local government, which means why did I not extend my influence in the other local government I didn’t have.
“The local government determines who wins what in the state, mind you, every election has its own perception the way you look at it, you should know what is happening, are people happy with what is happening in the PDP? Did PDP contest in those local governments where APC contested?”
