Nigerian Senator Samuel Anyanwu has said that no intimidation will force him to deny the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. He recently questioned what crime he could have committed for Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah to want him removed from the Senate.
Speaking during an interview with journalists in Abuja, Anyanwu wondered why some PDP governors are pushing for him to be removed as senator with just less than 5 months remaining in his term.
He stressed that he doesn’t understand the witch-hunt against his political career despite not attacking Governor Makinde or having any issue with his leadership.
According to him, he considers Wike his friend and his boss, so he’ll never feel intimidated to the point of denying him just to score cheap political points.
Anyanwu disclosed that he has always seen Governor Makinde as a friend as well, hence the reason he doesn’t understand the animosity the Governor has been showing towards him of late.
“My question is, what will Governor Makinde say that I did to him? Have I stressed him for any reason? Have I called him funny names? What is my sin? What is my problem with him? Have I done anything against him? What have I done against him? I consider him as my friend.
When people have a motive, a vision, what would my vision be? Whether you want to be president, whether you want to be governor, what would my position do? My position will end by December. Election is 2027. Primaries are 2026. I will not be there. So what would my position now do?
His Excellency, the FCT Minister, is my friend and my boss, and I can never, for any intimidation, deny him. Nobody can make me deny my friend because after position, there’s still life,” he said.

The senator then urged PDP leaders to handle the current crisis carefully to safeguard the future of the party.
He concluded by saying that while he respects every Governor from his party, it won’t stop him from telling them the truth.
“So, I think that our parties should be very careful. They should be very, very careful.
And you see, I respect our governors. I respect them because I know it’s not easy to be a governor. But that you’re a governor does not mean that you cannot come out and tell your colleagues the truth. They know the truth. Why are they shying away from it? They know the truth,” he added.
