Ayo Oyalowo, a prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, stated that Nyesom Wike is disinterested in governing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Wike, the current FCT minister, is the immediate past governor of Rivers state and a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain.
The minister has been in the news more for his involvement in Rivers state politics than for overseeing the Nigerian capital.
This has continued to draw criticisms from Nigerians, including Oyalowo, who is also a development economist.
Reacting to a video of Wike dancing at a political rally in Rivers state over the weekend, Oyalowo wrote on X:
”This man is completely disinterested in governing FCT, the security situation in Abuja has become so perilous but here is the so called Minister, dancing all over Rivers State without any care in the world.
”What kind of human being is this?”
Chinondu Wokocha, a political analyst, had earlier written:
”Abuja is on Fire while FCT Minister Wike is in Rivers State looking for his lost Structure.
”He has been busy doing campaigns and consultations for the upcoming LGA election.
”They are not calling out Wike, whose position of a FCT minister is almost tantamount to a governor and doubles as the chief security officer of the FCT.”
