Wike Challenges Critics on Abuja Road Claims, Threatens Resignation

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, publicly challenged anyone disputing his claims regarding road construction in Abuja's satellite towns to prove him wrong within 48 hours, stating he would resign if his claims were found to be false. Wike made this declaration during the inauguration of the reconstructed Arab Gbazango Road in Kubwa.

He asserted that the Federal Capital Territory Administration, under President Bola Tinubu, awarded contracts for 317 kilometers of road construction in the satellite towns, with 221 kilometers completed and 96 kilometers ongoing. Wike emphasized that these figures pertain specifically to the satellite towns and do not include other road projects across the entire Federal Capital Territory.

He assured residents that two major road projects, the Apo-Karshi and Bwari-Kubwa roads, would be completed by the end of the year. Wike reiterated his challenge to critics, insisting that if anyone could prove his claims incorrect, he would resign from his ministerial position.
