Meanwhile, Wike has reacted to public comments surrounding his recent visit to the National Chairman of the APC, Nentawe Yilwatda, insisting that he does not see political opponents as enemies.

He made the remarks while inspecting ongoing road projects in Karu, Apo-Karshi, and Kubwa in the Federal Capital Territory.

Wike clarified that his visit to the APC chairman was a private courtesy call and not a political event, as some had speculated.

He added that there was no obligation to publicly explain every personal relationship or interaction, especially those that predate current political alignments.

According to him, politics should not erase human relationships, stressing that people from different parties can still maintain cordial ties despite ideological differences.
