An old video of Nyesom Wike, the immediate past Rivers State Governor, saying he did not intend to become a minister after his tenure as governor is trending online.
The video emerged following the release of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ministerial list with 28 nominees.
Wike was named in the list submitted to the Senate on Thursday.
In the video that was unearthed by political watchers, Wike said, “Only one person can be a minister from a state; I will not be a minister. I will not. I am not a liability; Rivers State is an asset.
“So if you don’t want to win an election, it’s your business. I’m not the one running the election.
“He who wears the shoes knows where it pinches him”.
