Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says he will support only candidates that support President Bola Tinubu’s reelection, irrespective of political party in the FCT area councils’ election, scheduled for Feb. 21.

Wike stated this in Abuja on Saturday night, during Sen. Sandy Onor’s 60th birthday, a celebration of six decades of scholarship, leadership, service and meaningful impact.

The Minister, who said he owed no one an apology for supporting Tinubu, promised to support any candidate that supports the President at all costs.

“We have the FCT Area Council election coming up on Feb. 21 and I have a duty to support any candidate that supports President Tinubu to win.

“It is also my duty to ensure that any candidate that is not supporting Tinubu does not win in the election, and I owe no apology on my stand,” Wike said.

Speaking on the celebrant, the Minister described him as a “credible ally, a trustworthy friend and good brother”.

According to him, Onor is not just a friendly but a reliable friend, even in times of trouble
