The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has declared that he remains in charge of the political structure in Rivers State and the FCT, boasting of his achievements and declaring himself the “General Commander of the Political Infantry.”

Wike disclosed this while speaking with journalists in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Wednesday.

When he was questioned about the presence of an incumbent governor in Rivers State, Wike dismissed claims that sitting governors hold absolute control over political territories.

“You do not need to be governor before you can be in charge. I am the General Commander of the Political Infantry; therefore, I am in charge. So also in FCT. I owe the president to give these two. As far as the election is concerned, you count FCT as a state,” Wike declared.
