Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), says President Bola Tinubu’s critics are now praising him for his “unprecedented” performance in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Wike spoke on Thursday during the inspection of ongoing projects in Abuja slated for inauguration to celebrate Tinubu’s second anniversary.
The minister said he is “very happy” with the achievements recorded by Tinubu in the FCT, saying, “it has never happened before”.
Wike claimed that Tinubu’s performance has made many Nigerians start advocating that the president should be given another opportunity to serve.

“Tinubu’s achievements in FCT are unprecedented, and in the next two and four years, you’ll see what is going to happen in this country,” Wike said.
“Yesterday I said the simple truth; all of us who are critics have said before that Abuja was not working but have now confessed that Abuja is now working.
“Who has made it to work? It is Mr President.”

The FCT minister said he would concentrate on the assignment given to him by the president to transform Abuja into a befitting capital city.
Wike said the level of infrastructural development in the FCT is unimaginable, adding that the president had insisted that Nigeria deserves the best.
He called on residents of the FCT to also perform their obligation and support the administration for the interest of Abuja and the entire nation.
Today makes it two years that Tinubu was sworn in as the president of Nigeria.
