Just In : Tinubu Reveals Wike’s Other Role Aside Being FCT Minister
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stated on Thursday that the former governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, not only serves as the FCT Minister but also acts as his advisor.
Tinubu made this remark during his reception of a high-powered 62-member delegation from Rivers State at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
He addressed stakeholders from Rivers State, acknowledging their concerns about infrastructure development, particularly focusing on the deteriorated Elementary junction-Onne axis of the East West Road connecting the Port Harcourt Refinery.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the President was quoted as saying: “The Honourable Minister, Wike, is not just the Minister of FCT, he is also my adviser and an admirer of mine. He has hit the ground running and he should be encouraged by the State.”
Encouraging the younger generation to be patient with government processes, the President emphasized, “I am the Captain and Chief Salesman of the country. We have to reverse the trend and achieve possibilities within a short period of time. Our people have high expectations for us. I pledge to work hard, and I pray to God to put me on the right path, not to disappoint Nigerians,” the President concluded.
