Wike Has The Right To Support Any Candidate He Wants – Morka

The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka, has stated that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, can support any candidate he chooses.

He stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘The Morning Brief’ on Monday.

Morka was reacting to the chairmanship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in AMAC and Bwari Area Councils stepping down for their All Progressives Congress (APC) rivals in the just-concluded FCT Area Council election.

He argued that the Minister is a citizen of Nigeria and has the protection of the constitution to support any individual he likes.

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 the 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.”
