Wike: Loyalty Cost Onor Key Political Appointment

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, disclosed that former Senator Sandi Onor lost a lucrative political appointment due to his loyalty to Wike. This revelation occurred during Onor's 60th birthday celebration in Abuja.

Wike lamented that Onor's commitment to him hindered his chances for a top position, specifically the chairmanship of the South South Development Commission (SSDC), which was suggested by President Bola Tinubu. Wike's comments highlight the intricate dynamics of political loyalty and its impact on career opportunities within Nigerian politics, particularly in the context of regional development initiatives.
