BREAKING: Japan Confirms Suspected Ballistic Missile From North Korea Amid US-Iran-Israeli Conflict

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has lamented that former Cross River Central Senatorial District Senator, Sandy Onor, lost many opportunities for standing with him.

Wike spoke over the weekend during the former lawmaker’s 60th birthday celebration in Abuja.

The minister recalled how Sandy was blocked from lucrative appointments because he (Wike) supported the former lawmaker’s governorship ambition.

He said, “I remember the time of NDDC; I called Sandy and somebody’s name was proposed. Because I supported him for governorship, they blocked it, and I said, ‘Don’t bother yourself; what will be, will be.’

“Now, the president, in his magnanimity, established the South South Development Commission (SSDC). The chairmanship of that commission was for Rivers State. I said, ‘Look, this my friend has done well, I will make the sacrifice, let it go to Cross River State, and he (Senator Sandy) should be the one.’

“But the state said they should remove it from him, and I said, ‘If you’re removing it, I will take it back.’”
