The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika has distanced himself from the media reports that he is in support of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
Sirika in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle, said the news was false. He noted that it is possible for him to be in the All Progressives Congress, APC, and be supporting Labour Party.
He reiterated that the presidential candidate of APC, Bola Tinubu is his preferred candidate to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
Sirika said, “I am ideologically opposite of Peter Obi, I don’t share his vision nor do I stand for what he stands.
“I have not endorsed him. I am APC he is labour. Asiwaju was my candidate long before the primaries and he still is. God willing we are coasting to victory. Jagaba all the way.”
When challenged by a tweep that if Tinubu wins, he will never appoint him as minister, Sirika said, “Even if it were possible for PMB to succeed himself, by whichever miracle, I never will be minister.
“Public office is not a dynasty, it is transient. If it were permanent, I wouldn’t have met it. From General Manager to House of Representatives to Senate, then to Minister.”
