Wike claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) led government reached out to governors of the ruling party and opposition party for nominations for political posts.

The minister said, “I never said PDP governors nominated ministers; I never said so. I said this (Tinubu) government wrote to all the governments of PDP and APC to nominate people for appointment.

“PDP governors nominated people for appointments. Appointment is appointment both as Boards and Commissions.

“I challenged anybody who is a governor of PDP that never wrote any letter to this government for so and so people to be appointed under this government. Nobody has come to challenge me.”
