The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Felix Morka, says the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has every right to support any candidate regardless of political party.
Morka made this statement on Monday during an interview on TRUST BASE NEWS’s ‘The Morning Brief’.
He was reacting to how the chairmanship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in AMAC and Bwari Area Councils stepped down for their All Progressives Congress, APC, rivals in the just concluded FCT Area Council election.
Morka said, “If Nyesom Wike wants to go on campaigning for any candidate in any party whatsoever, he has the inherent liberty to do so.
“Wike is a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who also has freedom guaranteed by the constitution. He has the right to support any candidate he wants.
“He has that freedom to engage, freedom to participate in our democracy and to hold his own opinion and to express same and take lawful action to back his opinion.
“It’s not about Wike’s relationship with the APC but about his views and perspective of what he believes and what he as a citizen has the right to do.”
