The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has denied endorsing the Labour Party’s governorship candidate in Adamawa State, Senator Ishaku Abbo, describing reports of his alleged support as fake.
Wike’s position was contained in a statement issued on Friday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka.
According to the statement, a social media post had attributed comments to Wike urging Adamawa residents to make informed decisions at the ballot and describing Abbo as the most suitable candidate to lead the state.
The minister, however, denied making the remarks, insisting that he had neither endorsed Abbo nor any Labour Party candidate in Adamawa.
The statement also said Wike had no relationship with the LP or its candidates in the state.
Wike urged residents to disregard the report, adding that he would personally announce his preferred candidate if and when he decided to declare support for anyone.
