The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has reacted to questions about the screening exercise of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State and the reported political challenges facing Governor Siminalayi Fubara in the party.
In a video shared by his aide, speaking with journalists on AIT News, Wike said he could not comment on the APC screening because he is not a member of the party and does not know what is happening within its internal processes.
He added that he was also unaware if the party had officially released the results of the screening exercise.
Wike explained that questions about APC matters should be directed to members of the party, stressing that his own political party would soon begin its screening process and that was what concerned him.
The former Rivers governor also dismissed suggestions that he should know about any problems Fubara may be facing in the APC. According to him, the governor had not informed him about any issue, adding that he was neither a native doctor nor a prophet who could predict events without being told.
Wike maintained that since both of them are currently not in the same political party, he has no role to play in the affairs of the APC or in Fubara’s political ambitions within the party.
In his words, "He has not reported to me that he has any problems (in APC), I'm not a native doctor, neither am I a prophet."
