I’m Happy We Didn’t Make Mistake Electing President Bola Tinubu – Nyesom Wike [Video]

The immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has commended President Bola Tinubu for exhibiting the qualities of a good leader through his decision on the removal of fuel subsidy.

Nyesom Wike, who spoke in an interview with Channels Television on Tuesday, June 6, said Tinubu’s decision to remove petroleum subsidy, proves that “Nigerians didn’t make mistakes” electing him.

He said, “He (Tinubu) has shown leadership the first day he took oath of office. We need to tell ourselves the simple truth. It can’t be business as usual.

“See this problem, see this problem, see this problem, to start with, the fuel subsidy is gone. How many presidents can take that kind of decision? For me, that is leadership. For me, it shows that he is prepared for the job.

Wike further stated, “It’s a hard decision, but you have to take it. No good leader, who means well for his people that will begin to play politics.

“Since his campaign, he said it. He did not hide it. PDP presidential candidate said it, Labour Party presidential candidate said it. So, all of them know that this is the problem of this country.

“For me, I feel so happy that, Yes, we didn’t make a mistake. That is the kind of leadership that we want in this country. You see, everybody must not like what you have said or what you want to do.”
