Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has ignited controversy by asking FCT Council Chairmen to “take a bow” before Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The request, captured in a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), has drawn widespread backlash from Nigerians.
In the video, Wike introduced the council chairmen, emphasizing their alignment with the government’s agenda.
“These are six Area Council chairmen. Mr. President, it’s not about party; it’s about the agents of the New Hope Agenda in the Area Councils, and they’re doing well, working well with us. I want them to take a bow before you,” Wike stated.
