Wike’s Silence On Abuja Insecurity: Senator Kingibe Exposes Lack Of Response To Messages

Senator Kingibe further said there’s a “disconnect” between her and Nyesom Wike as the only time she saw him was when he came to defend the FCT budget.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, the lawmaker said: “I have never met with the minister except when he came for appropriation. I have reached out to him several times. The minister for some reason thinks Senator Aduda is still the Senator of the FCT. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

“I have WhatsApp messages, I have written him one or two letters and I don’t get any response.”

Senate To Summon Wike

Kingibe disclosed further during the programme that the Senate has plans to invite Wike and security agencies over the growing insecurity in Abuja and its environs.

She, however, expressed worries about the Minister honouring the Senate summon but added that Wike is expected to brief the Senate about his plans to curb the insecurity in the FCT.

“When the Senate resumes, I plan that the (Senate) FCT committees specifically me, needs to sit with the two ministers and the security agencies for them to give us their plans concerning security.

“It is not that I am hoping. I know he will be summoned. But whether he responds or not is a different matter entirely. But as the chief security officer of the FCT, he should have a plan.
