Wike Reveals Condition for Resignation as FCT Minister

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has revealed the condition under which he would step down from his position in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet. Wike stated that he would resign as FCT Minister if the forensic audit report on the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) does not indict former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.

The former Rivers State governor made the declaration during an interview on Channels Television’s *Politics Today* on Friday. He urged President Tinubu to make the forensic audit report public, insisting it contains damning revelations about Amaechi’s alleged involvement in the mismanagement of NDDC funds.

Wike alleged that a company linked to Amaechi’s wife received N4 billion monthly from the NDDC under the guise of training women from the Niger Delta, amounting to N48 billion in one year. He suggested that powerful interests may have suppressed the report to shield those implicated.

“Amaechi’s wife’s company, every month, got N4 billion to train Niger Delta women. That is N48 billion in one year alone, and the forensic audit report is there. Who killed it?” Wike asked.

He appealed directly to the president, saying, “Mr President should help Nigerians. Please, release the forensic audit of the NDDC. If what I am saying is not in the document, I will resign as the Minister of the FCT. I said I will resign. I don’t worship office.”
