Recall that Wike, three other ex-governors and 24 other nominees made Tinubu’s ministerial list read by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, at the plenary.

An old video of Nyesom Wike, the immediate past Rivers State Governor, saying he did not intend to become a minister after his tenure as governor has emerged online and is trending.

The video emerged following the release of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ministerial list with 28 nominees.

Wike was named in the list submitted to the Senate on Thursday.

In the trending video, Wike said, “Only one person can be a minister from a state; I will not be a minister. I will not. I am not a liability; Rivers State is an asset.

“So if you don’t want to win an election, it’s your business. I’m not the one running the election.

“He who wears the shoes knows where it pinches him”.
