The former Governor of Borno State and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ali Modu Sheriff, has said that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, is working.

Speaking on Monday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the former senator said he ignores the minister’s alleged rascality because he is working.

He noted that Wike’s works in Abuja speak volumes, stressing that there are President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ministers who are not working but lying to Nigerians.

He said: “I’m not a fan of Wike. Wike’s character is that of a rascal, but you cannot take away from him that he has changed Abuja. From the time Abuja was created up to this moment, nobody has worked like him.

“So people like me will ignore his rascality because he is working. There are ministers that are not working but lying to Nigerians. It is not the president’s problem.”
