Minister-designate, Nyesom Wike has assured President Bola Tinubu of his loyalty if he becomes a Senator. Wike said Tinubu would not regret nominating him as a minister if confirmed.
He disclosed this during his ministerial screening on the floor of the Senate on Monday.
The former Rivers State governor also boasted of infrastructural development while he was a minister.
According to Wike: “In four years I constructed 12 flyovers which were done by Julius Berger.
“I never left my state during my second tenure and when I was leaving women brought out their wrappers to say well done my son you have done well.
“Mr president will not regret nominating me if I’m confirmed.”
The Senate on Monday commenced screening of ministerial nominees submitted to it by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday last week.
The upper legislative Chamber, had, Thursday last week adopted a resolution to conduct confirmation proceedings on days outside the normal sitting days to finish the exercise in record time before proceeding on annual vacation.
In the first batch, President Tinubu submitted 26 ministerial nominees, saying, others from States not reflected would follow suit in a few days.
It cannot be confirmed at the moment if nominees from states yet to be appointed will be communicated before Senators embark on their annual recess.
