Wike Vs Ireti Kingibe: Why FCT Heavyweights Are At Loggerheads by Blessing28s: 12:25pm On Jul 02
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, threatens Ireti Kingibe, Senator for FCT's position in the next general elections as they clash over FCT projects.

Senator Kingibe in an Arise TV interview complained that Wike is not focusing on the needs of the people revealing that Abuja lacks potable water, healthcare, education and security. Stating that he does not carry her along in his decision-making.

Minister Wike who spoke at the flag-off ceremony for the construction of the Mabushi bus terminal in Abuja, on Monday, reacting to Kingibe's claims asserted that she will not be reelected in 2027.

He said,“If we have done well, we have done well. If we haven’t done well, we haven’t done well. I am proud to say that in the short time that President Tinubu has appointed us, we have done well,” Wike said.

Addressing the senator’s performance, Wike questioned, “You said there are no schools and hospitals. You, as a legislator, what have you done? How many bills have you sponsored to improve our education and health sectors?”

Challenging Kingibe's popularity, he continued, “I challenge that legislator. If you are very popular, in 2027, come and run under Abuja; we will fail you. You think that what happened last time will happen again? It will not happen again. If you are popular, come and run. Luckily for me, I am the FCT minister now. So, here is my territory, and I am not afraid.”

Nobody can work with Wike. He only likes those he can control. That's the thing playing out between him and Ireti. That's why Atiku was too scared to make him his VP candidate in the PDP. FCT has always had some of the best infrastructure in this country without any FCT minister fighting its only senator, until Wike arrived.

Most of the projects wike is working on are abandoned projects. That woman should keep quiet.

KnowAll:
One term Senator.

She will be re-elected and there’s nothing you will do about it. Focus on the current situation.
