Rising Insecurity in Abuja:
Excerpts of Seun Okinbaloye's interview with Ireti Heebah Kingibe, Senator representing the FCT

Sen. Kingibe: I even took it up at the highest echelon of Government because I know that these things are really happening. I have lived in the FCT since 1988 and I can see how insecure it's become but there are certain issues we need to address.

Part of the problem I must say is that there is a big disconnect between the Minister of the FCT and elected officials. I will be specific, the House of Reps member and myself.

The truth of the matter is that the Minister is new to the territory. We are the ones that have historical knowledge of the whole area and it is imperative we work together. If we don't work together, that's what exactly is happening.

Seun Okin (cuts in): Does the Minister of the FCT listen to you, as the political representative elected by the people?

Sen. Kingibe: I have never met the Minister until he came for appropriation. I have reached out to him several times. The Minister for some reason thinks Senator Aduda (ex-Senator of the FCT) is still the Senator, unfortunately that's not the case.

I have written him one or two letters, I have Whatsapp messages sent to him, and I didn't get a response.

Sen Kingibe: I thank the Security Agencies for doing something when we started to scream but the truth is that a little bit earlier I tried to draw their attention and I was told that it was exaggerated.

Seun Okin: How do you plan to defend the people of the FCT whom you represent at the NASS?

Sen. Kingibe: I am only a Senator but it is the job of Wike, the FCT minister, but as far as he's concerned, they're no elected reps of the FCT. That's the issue. But we'll invite him when the NASS resumes to tell us his plans for protecting the FCT. Whether or not he responds is a different matter entirely.

On the root cause of the worsening state of insecurity in the FCT, Senator Ireti said'' I would say without exaggerating that maybe a quarter of the Police Force are guarding VIP, which is not their primary function.''

I hope this insecurity is not a strategy they want to use to remove Wike?

I'm not Wike fan, but since some people think Abuja is their right, then I supported Wike appointment

Every passing day, it's becoming obvious that the insecurity issue that is bedevilling Abuja is politically motivated. Tinubu appointed Ribadu (an ex-police officer) as a National Security Adviser. This has never happened before, that position is always occupied by military men. Secondly, he appointed a Southerner (Wike of all people) as a minister of FCT. Anyone with functioning brain cells would see that the President is daring the North and they will show him. My only concern is the citizens that will be caught in the cross fire because where two Elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers.

Mr. President, this is not Lagos where you have absolute control. Your government should be one of inclusiveness and not divisiveness. We've long suffered misrule and cannot afford to see you fail. Please apply a 'political solution' to this problem. Nowhistanding, all those who are responsible for the current spate of kidnappings must be brought to book.

I see Aduda going around with Wike to every public event or inspection.,then I knew Wike doesn't have regard for the incumbent Senator representing Abuja.

It can be inferred that Aduda with Wike"s support will make a come back in 2027.She had better up the ante to stand a chance to win the next cycle of elections.

Coz it is clear that Wike no send these Labour Party officials.

Whether they like it or not, wike will finish 8 years as fct minister.

Abuja is for everyone, not just northerners.

One of the reasons Jonah was clueless. He supposed to have made southerner fct minister, all this shenanigans would have been dealt with.

Is he saying due to the disconnect some government officials are funding the insecurities happening in FCT.
Lives have been wasted here, what rubbish! Playing chess with human lives.
If you guys don't like Wike then deal with him directly na, nobody even likes Wike in the whole federation.
APC such a devilish party tueh! *Spits*
