Some southern Nigerian leaders have told the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Chief Nyesom Wike, to disregard political distractors who are trying to undermine his efforts to change the territory.
The organization delivered the suggestion on Monday while addressing journalists in Abuja as part of the Citizens Network for Peace and Development in Nigeria.
It stated that President Tinubu’s choice of Wike was one of his administration’s greatest judgments.
Mr Raphael Okorie, the group’s National Coordinator, stated that the minister accomplished in nine months what previous ministers had failed to do in eight years.
Okorie urged Nigerians to be patient with Tinubu, claiming that he was working to heal the economy, restore security, and provide assistance to nigeria
“Wike has done a lot in just nine months.”We know that some individuals want to distract him from repeating his outstanding achievement in Rivers.
“He doesn’t care about the Rivers situation. “He is preoccupied with developing Abuja,” the organization stated.
It went on to say that Wike had revolutionized the FCT, and that it was enthusiastically supporting him and hoping for his success as minister.
Okorie stated that the committee had taken the opportunity to examine the performance of President Tinubu and Wike’s administrations, and that both were ready to deliver the promised dividend of the Renewed Hope Agenda immediately.
According to him, from rapid infrastructural development to economic stabilisation, Nigeria is unquestionably on the path to recovery.
“Here, thereto, we micromanaged the value of the naira against other currencies of the world,” he stated.
He also claimed that the country’s infrastructure development had stalled prior to Tinubu’s government taking office.
Okorie stated that the world community was unable to invest in Nigeria due to “inconsistent policies and excessive government interference in private sector affairs.”
“Confidence in our economy that hit its highest under the former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration was completely eroded, Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) were near zero.
“Today, we have attained relative and realistic stability in the management of the naira and FDI is growing by the day.
“The private sector is getting the required support to grow and produce what we consume.
“Local content is being seriously encouraged and the government has opened its doors to all Nigerians to build an all-inclusive country, where no Nigerian is shortchanged by those that have invaded to destroy our dear nation.
“Our praises also go to Mr Project, Nyesom Wike for proving the president is right in appointing him as the minister of the nation’s capital,” he said.
He said that the minister had succeeded in bringing insecurity, which was a major challenge in Abuja, under control within the six months of his appointment.
“Today, the entire territory is relatively safe.
“We are not there yet, but with Wike in charge, we are optimistic that FCT will be completely safe soon,” Okorie said.
He appealed to the president to ignore those that were plotting to have Wike removed as FCT minister, and urged Tinubu to continue to support him.
“We also call on residents of the FCT to join hands and support Wike to succeed,” Okorie said.
