The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reacted to the walkout on the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, by some women in Rivers State on Thursday.

He described the incident as "very disturbing and embarrassing" and sent a strong message to Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his ers.

The walkout took place during the Renewed Hope Initiative empowerment programme at the EUI Event Centre in Port Harcourt. The programme was organized by the office of the First Lady and aimed at ing 500 women in the state with empowerment items.

The women who staged the walkout were reportedly loyal to the suspended governor, Fubara.

Wike, who is currently on official duty in China, released a statement through his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka. In the statement, he apologized to the First Lady and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on behalf of the people of Rivers State.

“Insult on anyone representing the First Lady of Nigeria in an event is a direct insult on the office of the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and as a leader in Rivers State, I apologize,” he said.

Wike criticized Fubara and his loyalists for disrespecting the President and his wife, despite seeking peace. The Minister urged Fubara to be honest and bold enough to clearly state his demands to President Tinubu, instead of making one statement today and acting differently the next day.

He said, “It is not enough to be visiting people to plead for peace, those who genuinely want peace work and act for it.
These are the same people pleading for peace, but at the same time doing things that are contrary to what they are pleading for.

“How can you say you want peace and at the same time, you are sponsoring people to insult everyone, including the President and his wife?

“All those shenanigans won't bring peace, and I am sure they know that, because they are not sincere with their up and down pleadings for peace.”

Wike also made it clear that he and his ers were not involved in the incident.

“As for me and those who subscribe to my leadership, we condemn in totality that yesterday's show of shame and we apologize to our First Lady for the embarrassing conduct of those few women who do not represent the characters and ideals of the people of Rivers State.”

The commissioner of health who disrupted the event, how many women has she personally empowered.

Bitterness can't make one to be progressive in life

Stop spreading fake news.

The women stated it clearly they had no problem with the First lady, but they were told Sim's wife and the first lady will be there, they were even given printed vests of Remi & Sim's wife.... All lies fake fake (in Wike's voice), their anger stemmed from seeing Ibas' wife.

Where did First lady get Money that she is spending?

Fergie, you are not supposed to be doing this arguments even though you might be having allegiance with Fubara or perhaps not pleased with his removal

So because Fubara's wife wasn't there, is that the justification for disrupting the event?

As the event was disrupted, who would loose out? The first lady or the women to be empowered?

Crying shouldn't make one to be blind

Since every governor is moving to APC let see the need of Chisom Nwaike again.

You didn't read about her robbing a bank weeks ago? Na the money she's spending now

Just a simple act of peaceful protest. Anyone condemning them has no values and is not worth living.

The most democratic action against the policy of any government should be civilised and non-violent. It doesn't matter whose ego is hurt. Bravo to the women who walked out on the First Lady to send the message to the autocrat in Government.

1. Nobody was saying whether it was right or wrong, how did you decipher that the Health Commissioner was responsible?
.
2. Since your allegiance is neither with Tinubu nor APC, did you watch the video where the women were stating clearly that they have no problem with Tinubu's wife but with "one Ikot Ekpene woman"... Is Remi from Ikot Ekpene? They are voicing their displeasure the way we did at Ojota.
I am correcting the narrative of the Health Commissioner lies you put up there, that's all.

Hypocrisy shouldn't make one be a master of doublespeak.

This was the question that should have been put up first.
Ibas' is a soldier, he has the instruments of state, he can investigate.

Health Commissioner that doesn't know her right from wrong. Someone the mother just put there, is sponsoring protest.

Are you listening to yourself, Ibas is a soldier he should find out when the report already indicted the commissioner of health.

Is the health commissioner not a daughter of Odili? Is Odili in good with Wike or happy about the appointment of Iba as Sole of Rivers state?

Where is the report?
Ibas' conducted a report and it indicted Oreh, where e dey?

Is the health commissioner not a daughter of Odili? Is Odili in good with Wike or happy about the appointment of Iba as Sole of Rivers state?

So Sir Peter Odili and Justice Mary Odili will through their daughter start sponsoring a protest against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu?

So, of all the things the Odilis will fight BAT with, it is to use their daughter to fight his wife? helinues, I know you didn't mean to write this, just stop, think, and think again.... You see, you know it doesn't make sense.

Wike criticized Fubara and his loyalists for disrespecting the President and his wife, despite seeking peace.

But the ladies were deceived by the organizers with the printing of Fubara wife picture on the polo given to them knowing fully well that it is ibas wife that will be present

Why is the health commissioner releasing disclaimer?

Why didn't other names popped up as the person who disrupted the event?

You are not being sincere with with your arguments

So fubara is now in trouble for people ing him, what a country.

Get out

Get out 2027 PH dey wait you

Why is Akpabio responding to Natasha?
Why is Sunday Dare responding for Tinubu?
Why is Onanuga responding for Tinubu?
Why are you opening threads responding to nairaland canceller that you are innocent of allegations meted against you?

You see..... I know you will say you are defending yourself, what is Oreh doing?
When you are steadily accused of something you claim you didn't do, you have to put up a disclaimer... I will be waiting for Ibas' report indicting Oreh.

Says the man who has insulted both the living and the dead

Water dey enter Wike boat.

Instead of am to remove the water, him dey use strength dey paddle am.

We all know how such scenarios usually end...

Nigerians will vote in 2027 and not politicians. You can already see that jumping from one party to another will not help anybody

What will the women lose for not getting this "empowerment"?

Yes Helinues, it is enough reason. Only hungry people won't feel insulted. I mean why use pictures of a person you know won't be at the event to lure people? Use the 's wife's picture, those that will come will still come.

I always stan Jagaban but who ever came up with this idea went very low and the women had every right to air their grievances.

Gaslighting

Wike is a fool

Emperor Wike....this FG is a big joke,imagine an FCT minister lording over an elected governor of his state,thanks to Tinubu.
These guys are sending wrong message to anti democratic elements,we must be careful or else we put our country in jeopardy.

Wike is a fool,he can't be a leader in Rivers because his time has ed but he doesn't want to accept the fact.

Wike and his coons have failed to learn from history
