The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said that every Nigerian wants to take pictures with him, despite social media criticisms he receives.
Mr Wike said this on Sunday at a luncheon he organised in his country home in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
According to a report by Naijanews, Mr Woke said he became the centre of attention at a recent event organised by y Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, in Lagos.
He said: “If you see social media, you would think this man is the most evil person.
“Immediately I entered the place, every Nigerian wanted to snap with me. I wonder if it is me that people want to snap with or a devil or ghost.
To the point that the chief of staff said ‘Are you the one doing the party? Am I not the one doing the party?’ I said you are the one who invited me here.
The minister said some Nigerians residing abroad also volunteer to carry his luggage at airports.
“We went to London, the moment we were at terminal 5 at Heathrow, Nigerians volunteered to carry my luggage,” he said.
Mr Wike attributed the goodwill to the “impact” he has made in people’s lives.
“You must make an impact on people’s lives. Whatever position you find yourself in, make impact,” he added.
