It is only the blind that will accuse Tinubu of non-performance—FCT Minister, Wike
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has lauded President Bola Tinubu’s administration for its transformation of Abuja’s infrastructure, declaring that only the “visually impaired” would fail to acknowledge the visible progress made in the city.
Speaking during an inspection of several ongoing and completed projects across the FCT on Saturday, Wike praised Tinubu for delivering what he described as “first-class infrastructure” to the nation’s capital.
“Mr President has given first-class infrastructure to Abuja. All of you can attest to the fact that, indeed, Abuja has really changed. So, we are happy for it,” the Minister said.
Wike further expressed gratitude for what he described as effective leadership and fulfillment of electoral promises.
“I want to thank God Almighty for providing the right leadership to Mr President to provide the dividends of democracy to the residents of Abuja. I don’t see why anybody would say that Mr President has not done well, except you are just blind.”
“Except, you don’t want to admit something that you know that is good. We are happy that we have fulfilled the promises that we have made,” he added.
The Minister disclosed that numerous projects are scheduled for commissioning as part of events marking Tinubu’s second anniversary in office.
According to him, the inauguration exercises will span a two-week period.
“I think by next week, we will be able to provide all the projects that will be inaugurated during Mr President’s second anniversary but this Gishiri interchange is one of them, the OSEX to Wassa Junction is also one of them, the International Conference Centre is another one. The N5 is also another one,” Wike enumerated.
He continued, “We have so many roads, both in the satellite towns and in the city. Even the Abuja Greater Water will also be inaugurated. So, we have a lot of projects.”
“It will take us about two weeks to inaugurate most of our projects.”
Wike emphasized the importance of leadership in delivering developmental gains.
“What makes us happy is when people are happy, because at the end of the day, we are working for the people. I have said it before, leadership is a major issue. When you have the right leadership, people will benefit from it,” he stated.
