The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum has expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over the appointment of the ex-governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, as minister of the Federal Capital Territory.

Recall that in the wake of Wike’s appointment as the FCT minister, many members of the opposition party had tackled him for accepting the ministerial appointment.

Wike, while defending his action, said the National Chairman of PDP approved the appointment before he accepted to serve in Tinubu’s administration.

The PDP Governors Forum, during a courtesy visit to the FCT Minister on Wednesday following the political crisis rocking the Rivers State Government House, lauded Tinubu.

The chairman of the forum and former FCT Minister, Bala Mohammed, who spoke after the meeting, commended Tinubu for appointing Wike a minister despite being in the opposition party.

He said, “At the risk of being accused of flattery, we really appreciate Mr President and Nyesom Wike. Again, giving him this office at the FCT, which is like a state, in spite of the fact that he is still one of us as a PDP member, has shown the kind of leadership that Mr President has.”
