"I AM NIGERIA'S MOST ABUSED POLITICIAN AFTER PRESIDENT TINUBU" - FCT MINISTER, WIKE SAYS

The Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Chief Nyesom Wike, has asserted that he is the most abused politician in the country, after President Bola Tinubu.

This was as the Chairman, South-South Development Commission, SSDC, and erstwhile Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon Chibudom Nwuche, has said that he and other political leaders in Rivers State would continue to support Wike.

Wike, however, noted that his support for President Bola Tinubu has remained stable, adding that in 2023 those who now claim support for the president were no where to be found.

Wike spoke, Saturday, at the country home of Nwuche at Ochigba Community in Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State, at the Thanksgiving Service of the Chairman of SSDC and his family.

The FCT minister, who spoke while addressing political leaders of the LGA in a brief meeting, said he is the most abused politician, adding that those who fail to keep to agreement resort to abuses.

SHEIKH GUMI URGES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO IMMEDIATELY SUSPEND MILITARY OPERATIONS WITH THE U.S. AFTER REPORTED AIRSTRIKE

Image
Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has called on the Federal Government to immediately halt all military cooperation with the United States following reported US airstrikes. Gumi warned that American involvement could worsen Nigeria’s security challenges and undermine national sovereignty. Gumi made the call in a statement posted on his Facebook page on Friday. He said while Islam permits the fight against terrorism, such actions should only be carried out by what he described as “clean hands,” arguing that the United States lacks the moral authority to lead such efforts because of its global military record. According to the cleric, Nigeria made a mistake by allowing foreign powers to play a role in its counterterrorism operations, insisting that “terrorists do not truly fight terrorists” and that such interventions often result in civilian casualties and hidden political motives. Gumi warned that allowing Nigeria to become a theatre of war would attract anti-US forces into...
