Wike Advocates for Leadership Assessment by Achievements

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, emphasized that leaders should be judged by their tangible achievements and contributions to society rather than by promises or political rhetoric. Speaking at the commissioning of a pedestrian bridge constructed by Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja, Wike praised the church for its Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.

He highlighted that true leadership involves making difficult decisions and prioritizing the welfare of others. Wike commended Dr Paul Enenche, the senior pastor of the church, for demonstrating that religious institutions can significantly contribute to societal development.

He urged political office holders and other leaders to be accountable and to focus on measurable impacts rather than unsubstantiated claims. Wike also warned Nigerians against relying on social media narratives for assessing political leaders, advocating for evaluations based on verifiable achievements and performance.
