The Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Barrister Nyesom Wike, says President Ahmed Bola Tinubu is not a president of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) but a president of Nigeria.
Wike stated this when APC leaders from Rivers, led by the National vice chairman of the APC, South South, Victor Giadom, visited him in Abuja.
He, however, said the president had the right to take the interest of his political party at heart while steering the affairs of the nation.
Wike who was former governor of Rivers state said political parties were vehicles that conveyed on to a desired destination.
Adding that interest of Nigerians superseded all other interests in the mind of Tinubu
“Mr President, having emerged, is not a President of APC but a President of Nigeria “While he is governing Nigeria, he must also take the interest of his political party and nobody can stop it, it is natural.
“In governance, every Nigerian must benefit from it.
“We need to understand that the party is a vehicle that takes you to a place, and once you get to where you want to be you come out from the vehicle”, he said.
The minister said president Tinubu had the capacity and the political-will to take action that others were afraid to take.
