Tinubu Did Not Make Me Minister To Come And Do This In Abuja – Wike Explains

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike, has declared that his priority in office is not to engage in the sale of land in Abuja.

Speaking on Tuesday during the flag-off ceremony for constructing the Pai community road in the Kwali Area Council, Wike said his focus is on the infrastructural development of the nation’s capital city.

The Minister promised that he would not focus on the urban areas of the city alone, but would ensure the rural areas also experience developments.

“Let me tell you, and I want to say clearly, let everybody hear me: Ahmed Tinubu did not make me minister to come and sell land here,” Wike declared.

“Our concern is infrastructure, infrastructure, infrastructure, and infrastructure. Is it in the city? Is it in rural areas?

“So, some of those who have the opportunity to be minister here, who may be angry, who claim they love you, ask them, what happened when you were a minister? Did you come to the rural areas? Did you see them? Are you happy now?” he added.

Wike charged the contractors handling the project to get it done in good time, probably faster than the timeline agreed, declaring that “if you can even try to do less than 12 months, your money is available.”

The former Rivers State Governor added that governance is not about the political party in power, but about meeting the needs of the people, urging that governance should focus more on the people and not those elected into offices.

“Governance has nothing to do with having PDP. Governance has nothing to do with having APC,” he stated.
