The immediate past Governor of Rivers State and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reiterated his commitment to ensuring that the hope of the people of the FCT is renewed; after he noted that he has never asked the Chairmen of the Area Councils to tamper with the money that belongs to the people.
Nyesom Wike had said
“And now that they have listened to you and voted for you, stay there and do the work for them.
My own is to support you. As a Minister, I have never one day summoned or say Council Area money should be tampered with, I never did when I was Governor and I cannot do it as a Minister here.
I challenge anybody, rather when they have problem, I call them, which area do you think we can help and we have always done that. So you have every right to do the right thing, to perform, and your people will be happy.”
Wike, who spoke during the flag-off of construction of Yangoji-Sukuku-Ebo road in Kwali area of the FCT, said he would always give support to the Chairmen of the Area Councils to ensure that the people’s interest comes first.
