Senator Ireti Kingibe has spoken out about a troubling experience and the ongoing tension between her and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike. In an interview with Arise Television, she clarified that she will continue to speak out, no matter who is uncomfortable with it.
She said, “Some people say I shouldn’t shout or complain, but that’s what I was elected for. If I can’t speak up, I might as well resign.”
The senator then shared a disturbing incident. According to her, she had just returned from an official trip to Sokoto for legislative oversight when her driver noticed something unusual.
“He said, ‘A black car has been following us.’ I said from when? He said, ‘Since we left the airport.’ I said okay, don’t go home, just go to a busier Gana street, and after a while, I told him, Park. And then the Jeep passed, but the truth is that I’m a senator of the federal Republic of Nigeria,” she said.
