ABUJA — Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared his unwavering support for anyone backing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging residents to align themselves with leaders committed to the administration’s vision.
Wike made the statement on Thursday during the flag-off of Lot 2 of the Water Supply Projects in Karu, where he praised the efforts of former Senator representing the FCT, Philip Aduda, and the Chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Christopher Maikalangu.
“The chairman has access to us. Anything he tells us, we will do. This is the only man I know. If he wins as chairman of AMAC, we will give him whatever he wants. I don’t know the party he belongs to, but I know that he supports Tinubu. Anybody who supports Tinubu, I will support him,” Wike declared.
He lauded Maikalangu as “very good and hardworking,” commending his use of government access to deliver tangible projects for residents. Wike also assured that if the chairman secured re-election, his administration would continue to meet his demands.
Turning his attention to past administrations, the FCT minister criticized their failure to provide essential amenities, particularly water, to satellite towns like Karu. He contrasted that with Tinubu’s government, which he said has begun to fulfill its promises.
“We have had a government who stayed here for five years, isn’t that correct? We have had a government who stayed here for eight years too, is that correct? Has any government come to say, look, we will provide you water? Have you had water before? Did this government promise it will give you water? Have we come now to give you water?” he asked the cheering crowd.
Wike urged residents to recognize Tinubu’s administration as one that remembers the people, stressing that governance must be anchored on trust and results.
“So, you believe you have a covenant with this government. And the covenant is like somebody said, agreement is agreement. So, the people of Karu, you will readily remember the government that remembers you, is it not correct?” he added.
