The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Monday revealed that one of President Bola Tinubu’s outspoken critics personally requested the construction of roads in his locality.
Wike made the disclosure during the flag-off of the Mohammed Isa Road Extension project in Asokoro District, Abuja, noting that the critic admitted that not all criticisms against the Tinubu administration should be taken seriously.
Addressing the gathering, Wike said, “My dear brothers and sisters, today marks the 10th day of our flag-off of various projects in the city, including roads, water projects, and street lighting in Abuja.
“Today we are in Asokoro. I recall very well that one of the major critics of President Bola Tinubu’s government – I will not mention his name – came to me and said, ‘Look, you have been providing infrastructure in all the other cities.
“What about us in the Asokoro Extension, or along Mohammed Isa Road?’ I reminded him that the President, through us, has indeed been providing infrastructure in other cities.”
Wike added that the critic acknowledged this and admitted, “I should forget; not everything they say should be taken seriously.”
