The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Monday night criticised Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, cautioning against engaging in political battles without the capacity to sustain them.
Wike made the remarks during the 107th National Executive Committee meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party, held on Monday.
Recall, Makinde said politicians aligning with a faction of the PDP backed by Wike were supporting the re-election of President Bola Tinubu.
Makinde spoke on Sunday during a closed-door meeting with Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi, and Seriake Dickson, senator representing Bayelsa West, at the Bauchi government house.
He said, “I came into the public domain to say that I was in a meeting with Wike and Mr President, and he promised to hold the PDP for Mr President towards 2027,” Makinde said.
Responding at the NEC meeting, the FCT minister dismissed claims made by Makinde about the meeting, describing the assertions as misleading.
“He (Makinde) said he had a meeting with the president and me. That is very unfortunate. It is unfortunate that a fight you cannot fight, you started. Politics is not contract work,” he said.
