The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike has vowed to continue to support the Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, asking other leaders in the country to do so.

Wike called for the support saying the task of developing Nigeria and building a virile economy, transcends political affiliations.

He said that he owes everything to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who has delegated some of his power to him to overseas the affairs of the FCT.

The Minister said; ” I have not lost focus, and I will not lose focus, as I want to remain focused to do my work. What is important today is to support Mr. President to achieve his eight-point agenda of renewed hope. So in the course of this work, some people may not be happy and some people will be happy. So you don’t expect that everybody will be happy.”

“So when the historical appointment was made don’t expect people, you should not be bothered that people will not react, so I can assure you that I don’t think or bother to know who even made the statement. So don’t be worried about that. And I want to urge you to continue to support Mr. President so that at the end of the day all of us will be happy,” he explained.

He said he fears no threat, be it political or otherwise in the course of carrying out his duty as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

Wike stated this when he played host to Leaders of Ethnic Nationalities from the Niger Delta region who paid a solidarity visit in his office in Abuja Nigeria’s capital.

He noted that he has resolved to remain firm and undistracted, considering the enormity of the responsibility given to him by the President.

The former Presidential Amnesty Programme Coordinator, Kingsley Kuku, who read the speech of the group, warned all politicians to know that any attack on Wiki would be considered an affront to the collective interest of the region.

Wike is not a political orphan from the Niger Delta, he has a strong socio-political base. So we take very serious exception to the call for the Minister’s sack and the blackmail on the President with denial of electoral/political support in far away 2027 should the President fail to do his bidding,” he said.
