Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has responded to Senator Ireti Kingibe’s criticism of his projects in Abuja. Ireti said she didn’t want to be friends with Wike and she stated that the infrastructural projects he has done so far in Abuja wouldn’t benefit the masses.
In a video shared by TVC from 2:30, Wike challenged Kingibe to run for Senator again in 2027 if she believes she is popular. He expressed confidence that she would lose. He emphasized that the circumstances that led to her previous win won’t happen again and that as the current FCT Minister, he feels confident in his position.
Wike also mentioned that he doesn’t need more friends and that people should accept the truth. Wike warned that if Ireti is upset about the praise he’s receiving now, she will be even more frustrated next year when he receives more praises
In Wike’s words: “I challenge that legislator (Ireti), If you are popular come and run under Abuja in 2027, we will fail you. You think what happened last time will happen again? It will not happen again. If you are popular come and run. Luckily for me I am the FCT minister now, so here is my territory, I am not afraid. People should come out and be able to accept the truth. We are not begging for anybody to be our friend, we have so many friend that we cannot even carry along. So how can we go and beg people to be our friend again. So if you are angry that people are praising us, wait by next year your BP level will go very high because the praises you will see will be too much”.
