But Chief Tony Okocha, the coordinator of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Vanguard (BAT-V), in an interview, dismissed the report, saying that “the rumour is a complete work of mischief makers”.
The APC chieftain said the former governor of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was a great performer who was loved by Nigerians and had great respect for elders.
Wike, Ganduje's name being removed from ministerial list is fake news
According to Okocha, Wike is a lover of President Tinubu, and this was why he worked for the president in Rivers State during the 2023 presidential election in the state, adding that the allegation has no basis.
Okocha maintained that the carrier of the news was neither a staff of the DSS nor a personnel at the presidential villa.
He then asked:
“Where then did he get the story that Wike’s name was removed by the security service?”
