Tambuwal’s outburst won’t go unanswered, Wike’s aide warns

A fresh political clash is brewing between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and former Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, following the latter’s remarks on national television last week.
This is as the FCT Minister’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, has vowed that the Tambuwal, will not get away with his latest verbal attack.
Wike’s aide has signalled that the Minister will issue a pointed response to Tambuwal’s comments, which were seen as an attack not only on him but also on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Tambuwal, while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, openly stated that his political choices were driven by principle rather than friendship and indicated he would stand with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over Wike if forced to choose.
Responding, the FCT Minister’s Spokesperson said; “I have been inundated with calls, especially from journalists, seeking the Minister’s reaction.
“Apart from what he said against the Minister, Tambuwal also cast aspersions on President Tinubu and such will not go unresponded to.
“Therefore, what I can say is that the Minister will respond accordingly. He will definitely tell Nigerians what a betrayal is and what it means to have integrity.
“Till then, let’s keep our fingers crossed.”
