Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has been characterized as a man of peace by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Wike has come under heavy fire for the continuous destruction of buildings in Abuja.
Speaking on Friday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, at the Public Lecture and Book Launch held to commemorate Wike’s birthday, Akapbio claimed that no one in his senses would argue with the minister.
“I was discussing with one of my colleagues and I told him I do not know why a man will quarrel with Wike. If he shouts while we are sitting there, by the time I get to that door he has forgotten.
“He will be the one to carry his phone and call me and say ‘when are you coming to the house for lunch?’ And he had forgotten that we quarreled and I will tell him, ‘after the quarrel’”, Akpabio said.
On his part, Wike said he was not bothered about the criticism.
He said: “For me, in life, what is important is, if you know what you want to do, and you know how you want to do it, then go ahead. One thing that I can assure all of you here is that we will continue to make you proud.

“I will never be distracted. I will still be focused to achieve the results that Nigerians will know that Mr President means well. Yes, so many people have talked about criticism, I can assure you, it is even people who inform me that people are criticising me.
“Frankly speaking, because I do not see them and I don’t hear them and I can not reply to them”.
He said the attacks were designed by his detractors, adding that the only way to silence the critics was to achieve results for public interest.#Akpabio
