Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says he chose to join President Bola Tinubu’s administration because he is confident it will deliver true dividends of democracy to Nigerians.
Speaking on Sunday during a Thanksgiving service held to mark the successful completion of various project commissioning in the FCT, Wike expressed optimism that the current challenges facing the nation would soon be a thing of the past.
He called on Nigerians to be patient with the Tinubu-led administration, noting that the president has made significant progress in just two years in office.
“President Tinubu is truly committed to governance. He gave ministers clear marching orders to do everything necessary to advance the country,” Wike said, while urging churches to continue praying for the president and his team.
The former Rivers State governor warned against giving attention to politicians and former leaders who are only driven by personal interests. According to him, those forming coalitions to oppose the current government are the same individuals who contributed to the country’s decline.
“They are not working for Nigeria’s good. They are out to destroy the country after playing key roles in bringing it down,” Wike stated.
He said, “If President Bola Tinubu’s government does not work, I would not have supported it.
“The government is working and Nigerians should be patient. I know there are challenges. Things will be better soon”.
