Wike told to tackle rising out-of-school rates
The NDF report reveals alarming statistics indicating a 35% increase in the number of out-of-school children in the FCT over the past two years.
The group attributes this trend to a lack of attention from Wike on crucial developmental issues affecting Abuja residents.
“Instead of prioritizing these critical developmental issues, Wike has diverted his attention towards long-standing political disputes in Rivers State, which is hundreds of miles away,” Ezenekwe stated.
He criticized Wike for engaging in confrontations with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Rivers State government instead of focusing on the immediate needs of Abuja.
“It is unbecoming of a Federal Minister to prioritize his personal political vendettas over public duty,” Ezenekwe continued.
The NDF’s statement urges Wike to cease “mischief” and concentrate on his responsibilities, warning that Nigerians are weary of political theatrics amid a tense socio-political climate.
