Wike also appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the Tinubu administration amid the current economic hardship.
“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,” he said, highlighting the government’s commitment to impacting all Area Councils.
As Minister of the FCT, Wike has prioritized infrastructure development, aligning with the Tinubu government’s agenda.
“Whether you are in PDP, whether you are in APC, whether you don’t even believe in any party, you must use this road,” he noted, underscoring the importance of the Pai-Gomani road project.
Wike’s decision to join the APC government marks a significant shift, considering his background as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
