Wike finally gives condition for accepting appointment from Tinubu

 Former Governor of Rivers, Nyesom Wike, has opened up on
whether he would accept appointment if offered to him by President Bola Tinubu.

 

Wike disclosed this on Tuesday while fielding questions
during a media chat with journalists in Port Harcourt.

 

Wike said circumstances will tell you and that he is not
lobbying for an appointment.

 

Recall that the former Rivers Governor had been making
romance with the Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress, APC, prior to the February
25 presidential election, and even after the inauguration of Tinubu’s
government.

 

Wike belongs to the opposition, the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, but worked against the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar.

 

Speaking with BBC Pidgin over the weekend, Wike said he
would consult his wife and friends if Tinubu offered him an appointment.

 

Meanwhile, the former governor stated that he isn’t begging
for appointment but would consider the capacity he is to serve, if Tinubu calls
him.

 

“You can’t ask me that kind of question.

First of all, I am not lobbying for an appointment, for
Christ sake. And I can’t only be important because you have given me an
appointment. I mean, you should look at it very well.

 

“Two, Mr President has not called me. With due respect, if
Mr President calls you and say, I want you to serve. May be I will ask, in what
capacity do you want me to serve. And he says it, I say okay, thank you Sir.

 

“Look I have a political team, I have a family, I won’t just
sit down without talking to anybody and say oh Yes. Look, look, I am not
begging for appointment.

 

“We are not being objective. I have to explain to you how
it’s done, you don’t just say will you take or not. What kind of question is
that? At my level, you don’t ask whether I will take or I won’t take. No,
circumstances will tell you. You see you never can tell,” he said.
