President Bola Tinubu on Sunday recalled how he threatened to sack Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, over development projects in the FCT and their impact on his political success in 2027.
Tinubu, speaking during the Salah homage, by the FCT Minister and top government officials at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, President Tinubu recalled his conversation with the FCT Minister, when he requested that the FCT be taken out of the Treasury Single Account TSA.
Tinubu, who commended the FCT Minister for the success recorded in the city, said ” It is nothing other than a privilege to be the landlord of every one of us in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
“When we started, he (Wike) came up with a lot of good ideas to liberate the bureaucracy, bring forward-looking, progressive thinking to the administration, and give the opportunity to many of you that would have still been hindered by property rights.
Tinubu who stated that Wike transformed the Area Council structures, and achieved indiscriminate development in the face of dwindling resources.
“I remember the day Nyesom Wike came to me and said ‘Please, take us out of this problem of TSA, so that I can do more work, and I achieve more.
“Then I said, ‘Okay, tell me what you’re about to do.’ And he presented it. And I threw in my own political guide. ‘Would that give me any opportunity for my party to win the election in FCT?’
“I said ‘I know where you are coming from, your own party or my party. If this thing goes too much in your own favour, you will lose your job.’ Then he said, ‘Okay, we settle that, Oga.’
And things started changing rapidly, and I started looking at the opening up of the rural areas, of abandoned projects, and the residence of the vice president that had been abandoned For years came alive.
“The health centers were being rehabilitated. The health facilities of the residents of FCT are being upgraded. Our schools are being rehabilitated and buildings are furnished. Thank you Wike.”
The President noted that his administration” wouldn’t have been able to open our mouth to even celebrate, if not, because of the progressive ideas you have given.
“Today, we are living in peace and security is improving. There is satisfaction in our output. The hunger is coming down. Food prices lowering. We are able to go to the market and do business and our people. They are looking for results.
“They are looking for comfort. They are praying for good health. They are looking for a father, somebody with the heart. It is not about me, it’s about every one of us, and the diversity of Nigeria is being proved by Nyesom Wike, who is strengthening that diversity to develop prosperity seeing that we are all members of one family living together in the same house but we are staying in different rooms. We belong to one family of hope and belief in Nigeria”
Tinubu noted however, that surprisingly, Nyesom Wike is not from the North.
“He’s not an Hausa man. He’s from the southern part of Nigeria. And his ability to work in the centre of the northern part of Nigeria is yielding fruits. That is a very good reflection of our diversity that we must use for our prosperity.”
