The Executive Governor of Adamawa State, Adamu Fintiri has congratulated former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike on his swearing in.
Congratulations on your Senate screening and appointment as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja.
“Your Excellency, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike you have set precedence and demonstrated exemplary leadership traits by delivering service and good governance according to the people’s need during your tenure as Governor of Rivers State which I believe earned you this position.
I trust that you will continue to work for improved growth and development of the FCT just like you did in Rivers State as Governor.
I am confident that your influence will continue to encourage our proud tradition of hard work and dedication to country as well as involvement in worthwhile political causes.
My brother and friend once more congratulations on your appointment. I know you have worked hard to reach this point, and I’m so happy that you have been recognized for your accomplishment with this new assignment. It is well-deserved.- AUF“
The said tweet has since sparked controversy, given the situation of things between the alleged godfather of Adamawa, Atiku Abubakar, And Wike.
While some has seen this congratulatory tweet as a harmless message from on governor to his former colleague, some have also seen the move by Fintiri as a slap to his political principal, Atiku.
Recall Wike and Atiku openly went into a tensed up rivalry after the PDP presidential elections, where Wike bowed out from supporting Atiku’s bid in Rivers State.
This singular act by Nyesom Wike paved way for the very controversial victory of the APC in the state during the Presidential elections.
