Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike has been taken to the cleaners by former federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani.
This is coming on the backdrop of what Wike said about him during the Nigeria Annual Lecture and Gold Prize Award, 2024, an event organised to celebrate Nigeria’s 25years of uninterrupted democracy.
For those who don’t know, trouble started after Shehu Sani, during his speech at the event, called on President Bola Tinubu to wake up and do what is right because Nigerians are suffering.
However, Wike, in his reaction questioned the lawmaker, asking him to tell Nigerians his key achievements in all the years he spent at the national assembly as a Senator.
Be that as it may, Shehu Sani, speaking at Channels Television’s Sunday Politics recently, said; “Nobody can demean the struggle that we did to free Nigeria from military dictatorship, Mike Ozoekhome was a patriot.”
“If not for the struggle which we did to de-establish military dictatorship and establish democracy in Nigeria, people like Wike wouldn’t have become local government Chairman, governor, or minister today.”
“He’s a beneficiary of the struggle, the sweat, and all we have invested in it. And at a certain time, I was in Port Harcourt prison as a political prisoner; where was he then? He is a beneficiary of the struggle to which Nigerians have dedicated and committed their time to.”
