The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has claimed that he is on the same level as governors.
Despite being an appointed official, Wike argued that he has the same capacity as elected governors, stressing that he can do whatever a state governor can.
Speaking during his media briefing in Abuja on Friday, the Minister warned those trying to undermine his office to desist from doing so as he is not “just any minister.”
He said, “Somebody like me you want to trample upon my right? No, you don't do that. I am a Minister of FCT o! I am not just an any and any minister. I am a minister of FCT, you must understand that.
“There is nothing any Governor can do that I as Minister of FCT cannot do. Nothing. I am not the 37th governor but I have the capacity.”
