The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says President Bola Tinubu’s government took over a fragile economy with the country on the verge of collapse. 

Wike said this on yesterday in an interview, where he dismissed claims that the Tinubu government damaged the country’s economy.

“He took over, he took over an economy that was gone. Was totally gone,” Wike said on the show.

The minister claimed, “Nigeria was ready to be buried. Luckily, it has not been buried. Someone [Tinubu] came and said, ‘No, I will not allow you to be buried’.”
