The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has vowed to cause those against the incumbent federal government blood pressure.
Wike, a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party has been a divisive figure in the PDP.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Arterial Road N16 to Arterial Road N20 and other projects in Katampe District, Abuja, which had President Bola Tinubu in attendance, the minister said, “Mr President, your good work has killed the coalition. The coalition is bound to fail, and it has failed.
“I was watching [the news]. I didn’t know that people can be pained. And now that I know that such people are pained, my duty now is to continue to give them high blood pressure.”
Among the President’s communications at the occasion, was his invitation of the former Rivers State Governor to the ruling All Progressives Congress, saying: “We have somebody in Nyesom Wike. He’s not a member of our party, not yet. But the day he changes his mind and registers with the progressives, we will welcome him. Because we will join him in singing, ‘as e dey pain them, e dey sweet us’.”
