Ireti Kingibe, a senator from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has stated that she is willing to collaborate with Minister Nyesom Wike on the FCT if he apologises to her for his hurtful remarks about her.
Since assuming their respective positions, Kingibe and the minister have not been on good terms.
If the senator didn’t stop criticising Wike’s leadership in the FCT, he vowed to topple her in the general election of 2027.
In addition, he threatened to have the Kingibe hang herself from a transformer if she wasn’t satisfied with his performance.
In an interview with Channels TV, the senator criticised Wike for the disparaging remark, pointing out that the minister is considerably younger than her.
She stated “He doesn’t obviously understand the concept of the FCT. If he did, it is nothing personal. He says ‘I don’t want to be her friend.’ How does governance translate into friendship?
“I’m actually willing to do doing everything to work with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory as long as he apologises first for saying I should go and hang on a transformer.
“Once he does that, it is all over. We can start afresh, but until then, everybody stays in your lane. With all due respect, I am so much older than him. Even courtesy demands he should not speak to me like that.”
