Newly-appointed Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says he sought the permission of some leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before accepting the ministerial offer from President Bola Tinubu.
Mr Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers State and a member of the PDP, was sworn in as minister of FCT on Monday alongside other ministers in the Bola Tinubu administration.
His appointment was greeted by criticisms from the public because he is a member of the PDP and also because he had once said he won’t serve as minister after serving as governor.
