Wike: Tinubu's Abuja Projects Silence Political Opposition

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, asserted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's projects in Abuja have silenced political opposition. During the commissioning of 31 projects, which began on June 9 and will conclude on July 17, 2026, Wike emphasized the unprecedented nature of this initiative in Nigeria's history.

He noted that no previous president had commissioned projects over such an extended period. Wike highlighted the reconstruction of the Arab Gbazango road in the Kubwa Bwari Area Council, stating that it would significantly improve movement and commercial activities in the area.

He mentioned that the projects reflect the administration's commitment to delivering tangible development rather than mere promises. Wike also disclosed that since Tinubu assumed office, the Federal Capital Territory Administration has commissioned 53 projects, with plans for at least 10 additional projects by the end of the year.

He assured residents that the ongoing road projects would enhance infrastructure and stimulate economic activity.
