Ministerial Screening: I’m a performer, Tinubu won’t regret nominating me – Wike

Nyesome Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers State, has promised that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not regret nominating him as a minister, saying he is a performer.

Wike, while speaking during his ministerial screening before the Senate, said that he executed and commissioned series of capital projects, across Rivers when he served as governor.

“Everyday I was commissioning projects . Mr President will not regret nominating me as a minister,” he said.

Senator Mpigi Barinada (PDP, Rivers) said over 5 million people from the state supported the Wike’s ministerial nomination and urged his colleagues to free him.

However, the senate president, Godswill asked the former Rivers governor to take a bow and go following a voice vote.

Earlier, a senator asked Wike if he was ready to continue “the wonderful thing you did in Rivers”, to which he responded affirmatively.

He was the second nominee to be screened on day of the exercise out of the 16 nominees lined up for screening today.
