As reported by The Nation, Wike stated this while speaking on Monday, September 22, 2025, at the flag-off of the construction of Access Roads ILS 02 and ILS 03 (Timipre Sylva Street) in Mabushi District, Abuja.
Wike declared that he remains committed to serving both residents of the FCT and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
“So if you like, organise yourself, cry from morning till night, call me whatever name you want, put my name on the internet, say anything you want to say—foul.”
The minister said he has developed a thick skin that no amount of blackmail can stop him.
“I am not one of those who will think that blackmail will change me. My skin is so thick, so strong. As a politician, you should know that these are things you will see, so why are you worried? No politician who is serial will think that people will not say something against them. Then go and sleep, go and rest."
Wike speaks as Tinubu restores Fubara
Recall that Wike reacted to the restoration of the democratically elected officials in Rivers state.
The state governor and all legislators were suspended by the president of the federation six months ago.
At the time, President Bola Tinubu appointed a sole administrator to pilot the affairs of the state in the absence of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
