Wike Promises Infrastructure Boost to Support Tinubu

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, expressed confidence that his administration's infrastructure projects and community engagement would bolster support for President Bola Tinubu. Speaking during a media parley in Abuja, Wike highlighted that his governance approach has brought development closer to residents through infrastructure initiatives and consultations with traditional rulers and stakeholders.

He noted the recent gathering of former senators and area council chairmen in support of his administration, regardless of their political affiliations, reflecting a recognition of his governance style. Wike stated that his administration has addressed security concerns by constructing at least two police stations in each of the FCT's six area councils.

He announced plans to commission at least ten projects, including road projects linking Karshi and Kubwa, before the end of December, asserting that these efforts demonstrate a commitment to extending infrastructure development beyond central Abuja. Wike rejected claims that his political mobilization aimed for only a minimal electoral threshold.
