Former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike on Monday, arrived at the National Assembly for his ministerial screening.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain who is among President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial nominees, arrived at the National Assembly complex in the company of his wife, Eberechi Wike and some supporters.
The Nigerian Senate is expected to commence the screening of the the first set of Tinubu’s ministerial nominees today.
A video making the rounds on social media shows Wike and his wife being driven into the National Assembly premises in a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon.
In the just concluded 2023 presidential election, Wike had turned against PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and allegedly worked for Tinubu.
