We Are Not Your Usual Nigerian Politicians, Wike Tells FCT Residents by trendingnigeria(op): 6:21am On Jan 21, 2025

Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike on Monday urged residents of the territory to keep faith with President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying the president’s team in the FCT is made up of credible people and not the usual Nigerian politicians.

Wike spoke in Abaji town, headquarters of Abaji Area Council where he commissioned the 5-kilometre Naharati- River Ukya to Unguwan Hausawa Road, with 2-Span River Bridge and adjoining streets.

He said whatever promise the FCT Administration has made to residents, he will fulfil it without reneging on any of them.

Wike said; “Recall that in late 2023, precisely October – November, when we came to Abaji for a stakeholder’s meeting, we did consult you and we said that day that Mr President had sent us and it was for you to request one road you felt was so important for us to execute. This is the road you sent to us through your chairman of the council.

“In that stakeholder’s meeting, we did make a promise, as requested, that more police divisions are needed to beef up security in Abaji. And we promised, by the grace of God, we shall provide two more police divisions in Abaji.

“I also did tell you that day that whatever we agreed, go home and rest, we shall fulfill it. In January last year, after the stakeholder’s meeting, we flagged off this particular project, and I did say, this project will be ready for commissioning in December.

“I want to thank the company, they completed this project in November. Today we are in January 2025, we flagged it off in January 2024, we are commissioning today in January 2025.


“In the next few months, we will also come back and hand over the two police divisions that we are building for you. We did make a promise that we are going to provide infrastructure in Abaji University. As we speak now, you are aware construction is going on in that university.

“Throughout this week, from today till Friday, we will have devoted ourselves to commissioning of projects in the six area councils, so that everybody will know that we are not only concentrating in the city, as we are developing the city, so also we will be developing the satellite towns.

“I thank you for the support you have given to the administration of our president, who indeed, we thank almighty God for giving him to Nigeria at this time that is very very critical. Every promise we have made, be assured that we are going to fulfill the promises we have made. Don’t take us as the usual politicians, No. Ours is to make a promise, fulfill the promise to the people”, he stated.

Wike will turn more Abuja voters in favour of the current president if he continues like this.

Although his personal project might be ensure Iretiola Kingibe doesn't return.

Abuja politics is getting interesting

Stop embarrassing yourself. You are currently grappling power with an incumbent governor and rustling lands for your friends and family. You are worse than politicians we knew before. Sooner than later, you’d be forgotten like your folks. Nothing lives forever

Focusing on road projects and police divisions is great, but isn’t it basic governance? Praising routine duties while most Nigerians face tough economic realities feels unnecessary. Instead of showy speeches, leaders should address bigger issues like inflation, unemployment, and poverty. Real progress isn't in commissioning ceremonies but in tackling the systemic problems affecting daily lives.

Good talk.

I like this kind of talk.

Wike and Tinubu are people with a track record of delivering to the masses.

So we KNOW he means what he's saying.

That was then, I even voted for Peter Obi but many people will vote for Tinubu.

Infact, the attitude of Igbos after losing the election and how they talked nonsense will make many people to shift their support for any Igbo man.

Are the common men benefiting from the contracts of those projects?
The amount of money they spend on opening ceremonies is enough to empower youths.
Anything they are doing, it's for their own selfish purpose just to grab power.

Forget those guys.

Even they themselves have started seeing signs of seriousness by the FG, and are no longer as loudly critical as they used to be.

Let him make noise if he wants to make noise.
