Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has fired back at criticisms from Ohanaeze Ndigbo President, Senator John Mbata, turning attacks about his past into a bold story of political rise.

Speaking in a video aired on AIT, Wike addressed claims that he is “semi-illiterate” and once worked as a car washer. Rather than deny it, the minister embraced the narrative, insisting his journey speaks louder than insults.

“I heard someone ranting that I’m semi-illiterate. That’s fine—at least I’m not fully illiterate,” Wike said.

He went further, stressing that even if he once washed cars, that did not stop his progress. “Somebody who was washing his car has grown to be council chairman, governor, and a two-term minister,” he declared.

Wike’s remarks have since sparked intense reactions online, reigniting debates about humility, success, and political pedigree.
