Tinubu to Wike: You’ve not disappointed me

President Bola Tinubu has issued his strongest public endorsement to date for Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Tinubu declared that Wike has successfully justified the trust placed in him to spearhead the transformation of Abuja into a modern capital city.

Tinubu's statement signifies a significant public affirmation of Wike's performance in his ministerial role. The President's explicit commendation suggests satisfaction with Wike's efforts and progress in implementing the administration's agenda for the capital territory. Wike, who previously served as the governor of Rivers State, was appointed to his current position with the mandate to bring about substantial changes and improvements to Abuja.

The endorsement comes amid expectations for Wike to deliver on his promise of modernizing the FCT. His appointment was seen as a strategic move by President Tinubu to leverage Wike's known capacity for decisive action and project execution. The President's public backing is likely to bolster Wike's position and provide further impetus for his initiatives within the FCT administration.
