Wike made this vow and stated that he has no regrets doing so during the 2023 presidential election.

TheTalk.NG recalled that during the 2023 election, Wike fell out with Atiku Abubakar, the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after losing out in the primaries.

In a twist, Wike, who was the governor of Rivers state for eight years under the PDP, supported Tinubu all the way till the latter became president.

In return, Tinubu, after winning the 2023 presidential election as the standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), appointed Wike as the FCT minister.

As reported by Vanguard, Wike thanked President Tinubu for believing in him and said:

“I have no regrets, I have no apologies. If the opportunity comes I will do the same thing.”
