Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has alleged that a military general once ordered his assassination during the 2019 general elections.

Wike made the disclosure on Thursday in an interview with Channels Television.

He said the attempt on his life came under the directive of the then Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi.

According to the former Rivers State governor, many of the opposition governors who now complain of persecution have not faced the kind of threats he endured while in office.
