President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chief Nyesom Wike, on his birthday, December 13, praising his performance in office and contributions to national development.

In a statement issued on Friday and signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu joined family, friends and associates in celebrating the former Rivers State governor, thanking God for a life marked by service, purpose and courage.

The President described Wike as an audacious and result-oriented leader who consistently overcomes challenges to deliver impactful projects.

He particularly acknowledged the ongoing transformation of the Federal Capital Territory, citing major infrastructure expansion initiatives under the Minister’s leadership.

President Tinubu highlighted Wike’s recent intervention that resolved a 14-year delay in the construction of the Apo–Karshi Road, describing the development as a significant milestone in improving connectivity within the nation’s capital.

Commending the Minister’s resilience, “can-do” attitude and commitment to excellence, the President said Wike has distinguished himself as one of the standout performers in the Federal Executive Council.

He said: “Nyesom Wike has been one of the shining stars in the cabinet, an exceptional performer, developing infrastructure in the Federal capital as never seen before and proving that his moniker as ‘Mr Project’ is not limited to his home state of Rivers.

“I commend him for being one of the champions of our Renewed Hope Agenda, even though he belongs to another party and wish him well as he marks another year in his life journey”.

Awaiting Nigeria president

Putindbutt:
I like seeing wailers come up with all sorts of trash talks about Wike being relegated, wailers saying all these nonsense just to console themselves and make themselves happy unnecessarily. That's the same way they were being delusional that Shettima had been relegated but today they have gone mute on that agenda seeing that Shettima is the most active VP in the history of Nigeria, representing the President on several official assignments both within and outside the country. I love how Tinubu keeps embarrassing wailers, he will keep increasing your HBP.
Happy Birthday to our Abuja landlord and congratulations to Ambassador Reno Omokri.

Obedient and ipob, you see una life. Wike the slayer and tormentor of obedient and ipob.

Shining star Wike? All because Wike falsified election results in Rivers State to make Bola Tinubu win Rivers State.
