The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has reacted to video footage where he was captured asking some permanent secretaries to bow before President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Wike spoke on Thursday, during the commissioning of the seventh FCT project as part of activities marking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s one year in office.

The minister used the opportunity to debunk the report that he had made permanent secretaries in the FCTA bow before the President at an event.

He said: “Two days ago, when the President came, we tried to thank him for what he did in making sure that those who had already lost hope in their career progression got to the peak of their career.

“Before now, FCTA did not have permanent secretaries. But with Mr. President’s way of Renewed Hope, he said they must get to the peak of their career by getting to the position of permanent secretary and Head of the Civil Service, if possible. Mr President granted that and then I called out the permanent secretaries who are the beneficiaries to come out and take a bow and thank Mr President.

“It is an honour to be called out to take a bow but some human beings can never see anything good. Instead, they are criticising, saying, ‘How will you call people who are Permanent Secretaries and ask them to take a bow?''

To press home his point, the minister, thereafter, called out the six area council chairmen, whom he described as change agents of the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President, to also take a bow before the President.

Stop being incoherent on my mentions.

Thank you

Wike is right. It is a great honour to be called to take a bow to Mr President. Especially to thank him for something he did, which is to your own benefit. I don't know why people criticize for the sake of it.

I have a job for you ok.

He did not debunk anything. He confirmed the story.

Can only happen in uncivilised country.

Calling out people to bow before a President? Terrible

Listen to a Nigerian. Getting to the peak of a career is more important than adding value to a career and the nation.

Take a bow did not mean “bow down before him”
Take a bow in that context simply meant greet the man, appreciate the man. Ministers to be take bows at the National Assembly. They are not asked to bow down. They are simply asked to salute the legislators. Wike himself took a bow at the National Assembly.

Unfortunately you have failed to recognize that you are the dunce here.

Wike the Mr Project.
Residents of Abuja are enjoying the sweet roads you are constructing.

Commission galore continues today with the commissioning of multi billion Naira VP lodge with underground facility.

I suggested you recommend a rugged commissioner of police for the FCT for appointment by Tinubu. The current one na woman wrapper,

As an Abuja resident, Wike has done very well in the last year.

But the man does stupid things sometimes and this is definitely one of them.

Permanent secretary are not your political jobbers neither are they your paid online miscreants.

In the scheme of things, permanent secretaries r not the mates of a minister...how many of the current minister knows a thing about the portfolio they hold?

When Umahi tried this rubbish by locking out workers at works ministry, they locked him out too the next day. Nobody told him to behave n understand this is not his children

Hmm

People's parents

igbos will be angry with this news

It was beyond a joke....... He bullied them to bow, he was even name calling them out...... Permanent secretaries all disgraced and bullied to bow.......

It was reminiscent of what wike did to those traditional rulers.......
