FCT: I’m not here to sell lands – Wike reveals why he accepted Tinubu’s ministerial offer

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has again said that he did not become a minister to sell lands in Abuja.

Wike said the only reason he became a Minister in the All Progressives Congress, APC, government was to support the administration of Bola Tinubu.

The Minister said this during the flag off of the construction of the 15.4-kilometer Pai-Gomani road project in Kwali Area Council on Tuesday.

“The government of President Ahmed Tinubu will allow everybody to benefit, to participate, to have the dividends of democracy,” Wike said.

Speaking further, the Minister said, “That is what I have told our people. Mr. President has promised you, give me time, be patient, I will get to all of you.

“All the Area Councils must have the impact of the government of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is the President and Commander in Chief.

“I want to say clearly let everybody hear me; I did not become a Minister to come and sell land. I took this position to support Mr. President to improve the infrastructure of the FCT. That is why every day, our concern is infrastructure and infrastructure, be it in the city or rural areas.

“Whether you are in PDP, whether you are in APC, whether you don’t even believe in any party, you must use this road.

“So, this road is very important. No matter how far it is, we will make out from time to time to see that we come here and see if the contractor is doing what he is supposed to do.”
