Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike said on Friday that he would have shot Channels Television anchor Seun Okinbaloye through his television screen after watching the journalist express concern that Nigeria was drifting toward a one-party state.
Wike made the statement during a live media chat in Abuja on Friday, April 3, 2026, which aired on multiple television networks.
“I was thoroughly surprised yesterday when I was watching Seun’s Politics Today. If there was any way to break the screen, I would have shot him. How can an interviewer say we cannot allow a one-party state?” the minister said.
