In a recent interview from 11:04 shared by Arise News, Residents Coordinator of the FCT Stakeholders Assembly, Abdulwahab Ekekhide, criticized the political tensions between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the senator representing the FCT, Ireti Kingibe, urging the lawmaker to concentrate on her legislative responsibilities.
Speaking during the discussion on governance and political developments in the FCT, Ekekhide expressed concern that unnecessary political disputes could distract from addressing the needs of residents in the territory.
According to him, the focus of elected officials should be on delivering the benefits of democracy to the people rather than engaging in political confrontations. He specifically addressed the ongoing criticism directed at the FCT minister by the senator.
“She is busy trying to fight with Wike, who is not even fighting with her. She should focus on her legislative duties,” Ekekhide said during the interview.
The FCT Stakeholders Assembly coordinator argued that lawmakers representing the territory have a duty to prioritize legislation and constituency development that will directly improve the lives of residents.
Ekekhide further noted that political leaders must work toward cooperation and constructive engagement to support development efforts in the capital city. According to him, collaboration between federal authorities and elected representatives would help address key issues affecting residents, including infrastructure, social services, and economic opportunities.
He emphasized that effective governance in the FCT requires less political rivalry and more commitment to service delivery, urging political actors to place the interests of the people above partisan disagreements. Read_More…
