Wike says hating on him is a solid business plan. The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, claimed the easiest method to get money from the Rivers State government is to publicly insult him. He made these comments in the Ochigba community, Ahoada East LGA, after a thanksgiving event for former Deputy Speaker Chibudom Nwuche. Wike stated that Rivers has always been viewed as a cash cow in politics.
He explained that anyone wanting funds should just declare they will deal with him or say enough is enough, and cash will drop. Wike joked about the state having around six hundred billion naira available, suggesting critics use his name as a keyword for payment. The gathering included political figures like Senators Magnus Abe, Philip Aduda, Wilson Ake, and Olaka Wogu, with members from both the PDP and APC in attendance.
