The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said that Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State is not his friend.
Speaking as a guest in an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST on Monday, Wike described Makinde as a political associate.
Recall that Makinde was among the G5 governors led by Wike who worked against Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2023 general elections.
Wike also dismissed the notion that he fell out with Makinde because of his presidential ambition to fly the flag of PDP.
“It’s not about being a PhD holder. It’s not about being an engineer or being a lawyer. That’s not it. If you want to be a presidential candidate of your party, would you allow the party to be in crisis?
“Seyi Makinde is not my friend; we are political associates, and there is no law that says political associates must remain together,” he said.
