FCT, Abuja – The minister of the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Nyesom Wike, has restated that he was happy being part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration....CONTINUE READING
On Thursday, March 28, Wike said that the ” Renewed Hope Agenda ” is really bringing the needed change.
The minister stated this in Abuja when he inspected some road projects at Gabu-Igu in Bwari and Saburi in Abuja Municipal Area Councils, respectively, The New Telegraph reported.
Wike noted that President Tinubu came prepared to renew the dying hopes of Nigerians and has demonstrated capacity and commitment to making the needed impact, Vanguard report added.
According to him, the current government was not just impacting the lives in the cities but in rural areas.
He said:
”I feel so happy that I am part of this administration. We are very happy, because everything we have started, there are signs that they will be completed soon.”
Wike, the former Rivers governor, has been at loggerheads with his preferred successor over the control of the state.
In February 2024, the former governor bragged that he and members of his camp would be undefeatable in the 2027 election because of the alliance between the PDP and APC in the state.
Wike made this assertion after strong men in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including a former national chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, declared full support for Tinubu.
In addition, the minister seems to be losing ground in Rivers as Governor Siminalayi Fubara is now getting more support from the PDP bigwigs.
Legit.ng earlier reported that Fubara said if he had utilised all his powers as governor of Rivers state, there would have been a “total crisis”.
Fubara said this in an interview published on the X (formerly Twitter) page of Africa Independent Television (AIT) on Thursday, March 7.
The governor stated that he was not overly bothered about losing his seat, but he was concerned about the indigenes of Rivers state.
