No, I won\u2019t do that. That\u2019s why people should know me, I am not a man who deals with left hand. I will never do that, and everybody knows me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not about me. People laboured to put up a structure. He wouldn\u2019t have even taken the 5th position. People laboured. I sacrificed to talk to several people. He turned it that I am asking for N20 billion, N100 billion. He turned up lies against me. I brought him up, put him there, pushed him there. Today, Wike is over demanding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The FCT Minister continued: \u201cThe governor took an advantage of the presidential intervention and to insult everybody. I\u2019m an appointee of Mr President and people should understand this thing first of all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never had any bargain before I supported Mr President. People should know that clearly. I believe in his capacity, and I believe in equity, fairness and justice. I never hid my intention of what I was going to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Mr President called, for Christ sake, he\u2019s the president of the country, there are things I shouldn\u2019t accept. But he\u2019s the president and our father by his age. He appointed me, why should I say no?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the governor did was to take advantage of that time period. The president said, \u2018re-submit your budget and he refused.\u2019 And what he did was to tell people to go to court. I laughed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy would I support a man who didn\u2019t obey the rule of law.
