FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has claimed that President Bola Tinubu could have secured victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the recent Osun governorship election if he had wanted it “at all costs.”
Wike, who remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said Tinubu deliberately allowed the election to take place without using the influence of the federal government.
Speaking on Tuesday while inspecting flood-prone areas in Maitama, Abuja, Wike said he would have supported the president if he chose to deploy federal might to guarantee an APC victory.
“If the president had wanted to win the Osun state election at all costs, I would have been there and we would have won it, and there’s nothing the governor can do,” Wike said.
