How I Threatened To Sack Wike If His Policies Did Not Favour My Party Tinubu

Abuja President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has revealed that he jokingly threatened to sack the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike, if his policies did not align with the political interests of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC.

The President made the remark at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, when Wike led a delegation of prominent FCT residents on a Sallah homage to mark the end of Ramadan fasting and Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.

Tinubu recalled how Wike approached him with a request to remove the FCT from the Treasury Single Account TSA to allow for greater financial flexibility and infrastructure development.

I remember the day Nyesom Wike came to me and said, Please, take us out of this problem of Treasury Single Account TSA so that I can do more work and achieve more, Tinubu stated.
