The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has shed more light about his luxurious background, making bold comparisons between himself and his political rival, Rotimi Amaechi.

During a interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday July 4, 2025, Wike boasted that he had a better upbringing than Amaechi.

In the conversation with anchor Seun Okinbaloye, Wike revealed that he grew up in comfort and had access to luxury early in life.

He said, “I have a Rolls-Royce; nobody gave it to me. I bought it. I didn’t come from the same background as Amaechi.”

“As a student, I was using a Mercedes Benz.”

“My father was a general manager for many companies.”
