The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that he has not endorsed any individual for future political contests in Rivers State, asserting that such decisions remain within the purview of the party elders.
Addressing a joint gathering of All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders from Rivers State at his official residence in Life Camp, Abuja, Wike cautioned against the “rush” for endorsements and the internal divisions caused by personal ambitions.
The Minister emphasized that the current political standing of the group was built on unity and commitment rather than financial influence.
Clarifying his stance on upcoming political cycles, Wike dismissed rumors of private endorsements for local offices, insisting his public and private positions remain identical.
He maintained that the only endorsement currently recognized is for the Presidency.
Wike stated he has not endorsed anyone for the PDP or APC at the state level and will not do so until elders meet.
He however, reaffirmed that the only person the group has officially endorsed is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
