Senator Ireti Kingibe has reacted after the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, stated that he would ensure she does not win re-election as a senator in 2027.
In an interview with Nigeria Info FM, Senator Kingibe said Wike behaves as if he has a “god complex”. She stated that his conduct during the recent FCT council elections reminded her of something she once saw in a documentary. She said it reminded her of a documentary about Idi Amin, the former president of Uganda.
Senator Kingibe said the documentary showed Idi Amin cheating in a swimming competition by starting early and he celebrated arrogantly when he won
In Kingibe's words: "The minister has a god complex, he has no control. This last election that just happened, he reminds me of a documentary that I watched of Idi Amin"
