The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, is not a member of the ruling party ( All Progressives Congress) but serves under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Ajibola Basiru made this clarification while reacting to public debates over Wike’s political alignment and his role in the current government.
Basiru described the APC’s success in the FCT Local Government elections to infrastructure delivery under Wike’s supervision.
“Wike is not a member of our party, but he works for an APC government headed by Tinubu,” Basiru said.
“When you see the massive infrastructural development that has occurred in the FCT, not only in the urban areas, but even in the suburbs. In the past two and half years, you’ll discover that the sterling performance of the FCT Minister together with the engagement that our party has done and the careful selection of candidates who have the history of a sterling different political parties have contributed to APC’s victory in the FCT local government elections.”
“So you can’t discountenance effective administrative deployment of the dividends of democracy in the FCT under the present FCT administration from the success of our party in that election,” Basiru added.
