The controversy followed Wike’s comment during a media parley in Abuja on Friday, where he criticised Okinbaloye’s comments on Politics Today about the risk of Nigeria becoming a one-party state. The minister had said that if he could “break the screen,” he “would have shot him,” a comment that drew criticism from civil society and media groups.
