Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that he keeps a close watch on media reports, saying he personally monitors what those he tagged his “enemies” say about him.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja, the minister explained that he follows prime-time news across leading Nigerian television stations, including Africa Independent Television (AIT), TVC News, and Channels Television.
Wike said he prefers to stay directly informed rather than depend on aides or third parties for updates on public discourse surrounding him.
He added that his habit often extends late into the night, as he sometimes revisits broadcasts around midnight to ensure he is fully up to date before going to bed.
“I watch news all the time, AIT News, I will watch, TVC News, Channels, I watch all of them.
“I don’t wait for anyone to come and tell me what my enemies are saying about me, I hear it by myself.
“So you can see that I know the time, even by 12 I still come back to watch everything, I make sure that I watch before I go and sleep.”
