I’ll Support Anyone Who Supports Tinubu – Wike
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that he will stand with anyone who supports President Bola Tinubu, urging residents to rally behind leaders aligned with the current administration.
Wike spoke on Thursday at the flag-off of Lot 2 of the Water Supply Projects in Karu, where he praised former FCT Senator Philip Aduda and the Chairman of Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Christopher Maikalangu.
“The chairman has access to us. Anything he tells us, we will do. This is the only man I know. If he wins as chairman of AMAC, we will give him whatever he wants. I don’t know the party he belongs to. But I know that he supports Tinubu. Anybody who supports Tinubu, I will support him,” Wike said.
He described Maikalangu as “very good and hardworking,” commending him for leveraging his access to government to deliver projects to residents. He assured that his administration would meet the chairman’s demands if he returned for another term.
Wike also took a swipe at past administrations, accusing them of neglecting satellite towns like Karu.
“We have had a government who stayed here for five years, isn’t that correct? We have had a government who stayed here for eight years too, is that correct? Has any government come to say, look, we will provide you water? Have you had water before? Did this government promise it will give you water? Have we come now to give you water?” he asked the cheering crowd.
He further told residents that Tinubu’s government had kept its word.
“So, you believe you have a covenant with this government. And the covenant is like somebody said, agreement is agreement. So, the people of Karu, you will readily remember the government that remembers you, is it not correct?” Wike added.
