VIDEO: Crowd go berserk with applause at Wike’s inauguration as minister

The former governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, became the centre of attraction at the inauguration of ministers in the presidential villa on Monday, August 21.

In a viral video making the rounds on social media, Wike, the appointed Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), was seen donning a black suit as he walked up towards President Bola Tinubu to sign his manifest to become a minister officially.

As the video shows, the crowd roared in excitement and applause as he walked towards the manifest to sign his column as one of the appointed ministers.

The former presidential aspirant immediately shook hands with President Tinubu after signing his manifest as a minister at the banquet hall.

Again, the crowd applauded and began to chant his name as he walked back to his seat with a huge smile.

Wike was inaugurated alongside Wale Edun, Dele Alake, Doris Anite, Adegboyega Oyetola, Uju Kennedy, Bello Goronyo, Tahir Mamman, Yusuf Tuggar and Ibrahim Geidam.
