The immediate past Governor of River State, Nyeson Wike has said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not regret nominating him to be one of the ministers in his cabinet.
Wike, who was asked to take a bow by the Senate whose members screened and confirmed him today, July 31, for the ministerial position, said: “I thank Mr. President for nominating me. I believe, knowing how hungry Mr. President is to solving the problems of Nigeria, we have no choice but to give him that required support.
“And I can assure you, if I am confirmed in whatever capacity, Mr. President will not regret nominating me.”
After his introductory comments, Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, confirmed that Wike is competent and has the capacity to deliver in office.
The former Governor under the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) was asked to take a bow.
The Senate also cleared Abubakar Momoh from Edo State during the plenary session today.
