“If you like pray for 24 hours, cry from morning till night, it will not work, no prayers can affect me” — Wike fires shot at Nigerian pastors

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike on Tuesday fired a salvo at his detractors.

Stressing that he can’t be influenced against carrying out his duties, he warned that prayers can’t stop him.

He spoke during the commissioning of the rehabilitated Phase 2 Water Treatment Plant at Lower Usuma Dam, in Ushafa, Bwari Area Council.

Wike also revealed an incident that happened before he assumed office as minister after his appointment by President Bola Tinubu.

According to him, he was asked to bring pastors to pray before assuming office as minister because a lot of “things” were done before him.

He said: “When I came to this place as a Minister, the first day I was to resume, people say go and bring pastors to pray because a lot of things have been done here. I said okay, I went there and nothing

“I will do my work and nobody can influence me, if you like pray for 24 hours it will not work.

“If it’s right, it will work but if it’s for your own selfish interest, for the government not to move forward, it will not work.

“I will do what is right if you like cry from morning till night.”
