Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has fired back at critics who expect him to conduct himself like his father, a gospel preacher.
At a special media chat in Port Harcourt on Saturday, the Minister insisted that in politics, there are rules that must be followed, justifying his fierce style of politics.
The Minister opined that those criticizing his actions were only being theoretical, stating that politics is not like church.
He said, “Politics is not like church. I’m a Christian but not a pastor. That my father is a pastor does not make me a pastor.
“I am a lawyer but my second son is not a lawyer, so because his mother is a judge, does that make my son a judge?
“The point is that, if you want to be a politician, there are rules and if you want to be a pastor, there are rules.
“That is why when I hear people saying they are angry because this happened, that happened, I say you are talking theory”.
The Minister was specifically reacting to insinuations that he is interested in controlling power in Rivers State following his face-off with Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
