FCT: ‘My haters using roads, water I provided’ – Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Friday said his enemies are making use of the projects he executed in the capital city.

Wike said his haters and blackmailers use the roads, water and other infrastructures provided by his administration.

He spoke while flagging off the construction of the Transit Way, N2, connecting the Central Area to Wuse District with two bridges.

Wike said: “I told you that when you are doing your work, people may hate you. All those who hate us are using the road, all those who hate us will use the water, they will use the street light.

“So it’s an opportunity to improvise for them, you don’t need to worry yourselves, they are just looking for an opportunity to come closer to us and because we are very strict, the only way they can come closer to us is to blackmail us; unfortunately we don’t know the meaning, there is no blackmail in our dictionary.

“The only thing that we know in our dictionary is to work to the satisfaction of our people.”

The minister also threatened to facilitate the redeployment of the FCT Mandate Secretary on Security over his inability to provide him with updates on the construction of 12 police stations across the capital city.

Wike warned: “Director of Security, we have built not less than 12 police stations and up till now, you have not come to tell me how many are ready.

“The day I go and find out, that is the day that you will go to the Institute of Policy Studies so that you will allow another person to do the job.

“Being director is not to wear Agbada and black cap, your assignment is to see that you handover the police stations so that we have improved security.

“So my dear brothers and sisters, it has not been easy. This flag off will continue till the 20th of October and then from November we will start to commission some other projects which we think are very vital and will grow the economy of the FCT and improve the landscape of the FCT.”
