Charles Okwudili Ugwu, a former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, has urged Nigerians, especially in Abuja, to support Nyesom Wike in his drive to transform the FCT.
According to Ugwu, the immediate past Rivers State governor needs all the support to enable him leverage his appointment by President Bola Tinubu to bring his exceptional work ethic to bear in the discharge of his duties as FCT Minister.
In a statement titled, ‘Let Wike Breathe,’ Ugwu, an Abuja-based lawyer and businessman, said that given the exemplary developmental strides in Rivers under Wike, Tinubu couldn’t have made a better choice in picking him to reenact his Rivers miracle in Abuja.
He stressed that the city needs a man with courage and convictions like Wike to maintain its existing social infrastructure and build new ones within the shortest possible time.
“Abuja needs a man like Wike, who is courageous enough to walk his talk, to run its affairs at this point in time,”. Ugwu began.
“Wike needs the support of Nigerians to enable him focus on his work and reenact, in Abuja, his development miracle in Rivers, not the name-calling that seems to be the case now.
“FCT needs a man like Wike to maintain its decaying social infrastructure, as well as add new ones so that wherever citizens live within the FCT, they will enjoy as much quality infrastructure as in the city centre,” he added.
