Chukwuemeka Woke, a former Chief of Staff to Nyesom Wike, has said that no amount of gang-up, against the FCT Minister, can bring him down.
Woke said this at a critical stakeholders’ meeting of Emohua local government area held at the council’s secretariat on Wednesday, April 10th.
He revealed that the same people who were looking for Wike’s downfall had encouraged him to run for presidency in 2023. However, they abandoned his former boss during the primaries.
Woke stated further that President Bola Tinubu was aware of the divisive tactics being employed by the detractors, adding that their efforts were dead on arrival.
He said: “Our leader, Nyesom Wike, had in a recent media chat informed Nigerians on the activities of FCT administration and of course arising from a question asked by one of the panellists, he talked about politics in Rivers state.

“Rather than addressing those issues, what we see is name-calling, people trying to malign the person of the FCT Minister and trying to blackmail him to see whether they can cause any disagreement between him and the president, of course, they will not succeed.
“The same group of people, on the 13th of December 2021 went and woke up our leader from sleep by 1 am. Twenty-seven of them signed and asked him to come and run for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria when our leader was already sleeping.
“Our leader asked them if they would stand behind him and they said yes. When it was time for the Presidential primaries all of them ganged up against him. They should leave name-calling, when the time for name-calling comes we will go into that.”
