Anybody That Says Tinubu Has Not Done Well Is Blind – Wike
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has declared that only those who are visually impaired can say President Bola Tinubu has not performed since assuming office on May 29, 2023.
Wike, who made the statement on Saturday during an inspection of several ongoing projects in Abuja, praised Tinubu for transforming the city’s infrastructure and delivering the dividends of democracy.
“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. 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,” Wike said.
The minister noted that several completed projects have been lined up for commissioning as part of events to mark the president’s second year in office.
“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. 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,” he stated.
Wike stressed that the motivation behind the projects is to improve the lives of Abuja residents.
“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 said.
