The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has defended his political style, saying his Christian faith does not require him to conduct himself like a cleric.
Wike stated this during a special media chat in Port Harcourt on Saturday, where he argued that politics and religion operate under different principles.
His remarks were disclosed by the Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, in a post on his X platform.
The former Rivers State governor dismissed suggestions that his political conduct should be modelled after that of his late father, who was a gospel preacher.
“Politics is not like church. I’m a Christian but not a pastor. That my father is a pastor does not make me a pastor,” Wike said.
