El-Rufai Outperformed Wike as FCT Minister — Sen Ireti Kingibe

Senator Ireti Kingibe has stated that Nasir El-Rufai delivered better results as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) than the current minister, Nyesom Wike.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Political Paradigm on Tuesday, Kingibe said that while Wike is widely praised for his infrastructure projects in Abuja, many of these initiatives fail to address the real needs of everyday residents.

According to her, infrastructure alone does not define a successful FCT minister. She argued that El-Rufai, who served during the Olusegun Obasanjo administration, not only built roads but also engaged directly with the challenges faced by Abuja residents.

“If you ask anyone from the FCT who the most effective minister has been, they’ll likely say El-Rufai. He constructed roads and listened to the people,” she said.

She criticized Wike for being disconnected from grassroots concerns, citing examples such as relocating facilities like abattoirs without providing adequate infrastructure or security in the new locations.

“A good minister must be in touch with the people’s realities—not just build roads,” Kingibe added.

Goodlady:
This is a bitterness talk. He can only be judge after completion of his tenure

360degreess:
She nothing but the truth.El rufai performance as FCT minister can't be matched since creation of Abuja

IkeOnyia:
This new bond of friendship between Obidients and El Rufai is remarkable. Not long ago, El Rufai was a Fulani supremacist who was sponsoring Fulani militias to kill Christians and entrench Islamization in the country according to the Obedients. How time flies.

Brazino:
Do you actually believe this admission by Senator Ireti Kingibe?
This is just two years into Wike's administration. Though wike is working, performing really well but he is actually alienated from the people of the FCT. Even El-Rufai too was never familiar with the people during his time. As a matter of fact, Abuja people hated El-Rufai for demolishing their houses and rendering them Homeless.
Given the above, I dare say, it is premature to judge at this point until wike completes his tenure. I understand how bitter Ireti is, towards wike.

TallNigerian:
Hahahahahahahaha......agenda must agend.

As someone born and raised in Abuja, I can tell you that Ireti is delusional. 🤡

El-Rufai wa so hated that he had to come on TV to say he is not afraid of death, that no one lives beyond 40 (or was it 50) in his family, so he is already fulfilled if he dies as at that time.

Even my dad's house in Karmo was not spared. Although we had a government allocated property in the heart of GARKI, my dad built properties for rent in Karmo, all of which El-Rufai demolished.

At least, Wike makes provisions for compensation to people with valid documents or convincing plea, El-Rufai no consider anybody papa. The few people El-Rufai reallocated lands after displacing them from some key areas in the heart of town were inside Pegi, a community far inside Kuje Area Council where Fulani herdsmen showed them shege for years even up till Buhari's tenure.


Yes, El-Rufai did what he did to restore some form of sanity to the city ànd to follow the original masterplan, but don't paint him like someone who was connected to the grassroot in FCT.

Some of us are historians and we don't forget.

TheBillyonaire:
In essence, she expected Wike, in 2 years to out-perform Hell- Rufai 8 years. That ideology is very menopausal.
