Bola Tinubu says the appointment of Nyesom Wike as the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is one of the best of his administration.
Tinubu, who was represented by Kashim Shettima, spoke in Abuja on Wednesday when he commissioned the extension of the Inner Southern Expressway (ISEX) and the Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) to the Southern Parkway.
The former Rivers State governor, Wike, was a key member of the G5 group of governors within the PDP who supported APC’s Tinubu and opposed the PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the 2023 presidential election.
Hailing him, Tinubu said, “As we celebrate this achievement, it is crucial once again to acknowledge the concerted efforts of the FCT Minister, Chief Barrister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike and his team, and all stakeholders involved, including private sector partners.
“As I said the last time, Wike is a force of human nature. Love him, hate him, but you cannot ignore him because at every point in time, he is striving to redefine the meaning and concept of leadership. Wike is one of the best appointments ever made in the history of the current democratic dispensation in this country.
“All my brothers and sisters who opposed his (Wike’s) appointment are now hailing him.
“He is an exemplary leader, worthy of emulation by us all. He is a very mercurial partner.
“The whole political space is populated by careful friends. But now he has stopped dancing, he has stopped singing, but he is still performing.”
