Wike said, “I have always believed in President Tinubu’s capacity. I never had any conditions or bargains before supporting him. My loyalty is to Mr. President, and I have never hidden my intentions.

“When the President calls, even if there are things I might not have accepted, I recognize that he is the leader of our country and a respected elder. When he appointed me, it was not something I could refuse.”

Wike accused Fubara of using the president’s intervention as an opportunity to undermine others, saying, “The governor took advantage of the presidential intervention and used it to insult everyone. I’m not someone who can be manipulated; my loyalty is firmly with Mr. President.”
