The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, says he has no regret supporting President Bola Tinubu against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the 2023 elections.

Wike said some of his opponents collected money from Atiku to fight but they all failed.

He spoke at the New Year luncheon he organized at his country home in Obio-Akpor on Friday.

According to Wike: “I have no regret supporting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to win election.

“All these ones making noise, they told Atiku, we will fight him. How can people who came out and said Fubara cannot be governor, he cannot talk before the public, today are now the ones saying we are with you in 2027?”

During the build-up to the 2023 presidential election, Wike, then the governor of Rivers State, supported Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Wike refused to support Atiku due to the leadership crisis within the PDP.

The former governor of Rivers State had faulted the decision of the party to allow its presidential candidate and national chairman to emerge from the North.
