The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, emphasized that he is committed to doing what is right for the FCT without being swayed by sentiment or emotion.

Speaking in Abuja in response to a viral video on social media depicting the staff of Abuja Urban Mass Transport Company (AUMTCO) expressing distress over the removal of the company’s managing director, Wike clarified his stance.

On Wednesday, September 27, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the company, Najeeb Abdulsalam, was among the 21 heads of parastatals, agencies, and companies within the FCT Administration who were relieved of their positions

Wike reiterated that his actions are driven by the best interests of the FCT residents and Nigerians as a whole.

The minister said: “That is why when I watch people on video, crying that somebody has been removed and that he has been doing well, but the question is if you have been doing well, where are the buses?

“No sentiment, no emotions will be considered when we are doing what is right. We will do the right thing in the interest of the people.

“If you like, carry 20 people, put a video, and cry as much as you want to cry, it will not bother us. What bothered us is the reality on the ground.”

He advised political appointees to always prepare to leave office at any time because someone might come and want to have a total change.

Wike said: “You are not a civil servant where you will say nobody is supposed to retire me because I am not up to the age of retirement.

“Even as a minister, I can be relieved of my position now. You don’t need to cry; some other people will come and all we pray for is, let us get the best.”
