Breaking: Wike Defies Critics: ‘I Don’t Need Permission For Projects!’ – Bold Declaration Amidst Rift With Senator KingibeIn a bold and fiery statement, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, declared that he only requires approval from President Bola Tinubu to embark on projects. Wike made this assertion during the flag-off ceremony of the ₦7 billion Kwaita-Yebu Road in Kwali Area Council.

Key Highlights:

• Direct Challenge: Wike’s statement comes amid ongoing tensions with FCT Senator Ireti Kingibe, who accused him of pursuing projects with no significant impact on residents.
• Wike’s Stand: “For those who are ignorant and don’t know what to say, that we are only doing roads, please let the people know that we are doing something. I don’t need to seek permission from anybody to tell him what projects I will embark upon. It is only the person who appointed me that I can seek such from, and that is the President,” Wike asserted.

Public Reaction:

• Criticism from Ex-IPAC Chair: Peter Ameh, former Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), criticized Wike for using disrespectful language against the electorate and FCT Senator Ireti Kingibe. Ameh highlighted the need for accountability and proper governance, pointing out ongoing issues with incomplete projects and poor road conditions.
