I will fire back at him when next we meet — Senator promises Nyesom Wike
A Former Senator who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly, Shehu Sani, has pledged to fire back at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, over his comment at an event recently.
Wike had at an event challenged the former senator to mention his contributions to democracy when he was a lawmaker.
Sani, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, however, claimed Wike intentionally asks to speak last at every events so as not to get responses for his comments.
Sani said: “Wike is my good friend. I would have preferred to reply to him at an event rather than on the TV. I have attended two events where he strategically placed himself at the end of the event and made sure nobody replied him but I believe that when an opportunity comes next, I am going to take him on.
“But nobody can demean the struggle we did to free Nigeria from military dictatorship. If not for the struggles we did to de-establish military dictatorship in Nigeria, people like Wike couldn’t have been Local Government chairman, governor or minister today. He is a beneficiary of our struggles and sweats and all that we have invested in it.
“There was a certain time, when I was in Port Harcourt Prison, serving a prison term as a political prisoner, where was he at that time?
“Next time when we go for an event since I know his formula, speaking last, closing the chapter and everybody should go home. It will never happen again. He will certainly get a reply.”
