FCT, Abuja - Nyesom Wike has made a strong statement regarding his efforts to boost Abuja's tourism potential under the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).
The FCT minister disclosed that he was one of the foot soldiers of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, desirous to see that the renewed hope agenda of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was fulfilled.
He made this assertion on Monday, November 13, when he received the UAE ambassador to Nigeria, Salem Al-Shamsi, who paid him a courtesy visit, PremiumTimes reported.
Wike promises to improve tourism
Wike said he would improve the tourism potential of the FCT in partnership with the UAE since it was now the tourist destination of the world, Vanguard report added.
However, the former governor of River state urged Nigerians to support Tinubu's administration, noting the president's decision and actions are for the greater good of all.
He stated thus:
“I know the President, for him governance is business. For him, whatever that is going to make Nigeria great is what he stands for and so we are here as his foot soldiers to complement his efforts to see that the Renewed Hope agenda is fulfilled.”
Prophet Elijah predicts FCT minister Wike's sack
In another development, Prophet David Kingleo Elijah, the spiritual leader of the Glorious Mount of Possibility Church, predicted the removal of Nyesom Wike as the minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
Prophet Elijah said this on Tuesday, November 7, while giving a prophecy via Possibility TV.
The cleric said some political figures would "rise against" Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers state.
He asked the minister to "pray" concerning the 'divine message' he (Elijah) received.
Ijaws caution Wike
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Ijaw National Congress (INC) cautioned Wike for insinuating he owned a "political structure" in Rivers state.
INC stated that political structures should not and cannot be anyone's personal property, adding that political architecture is transient — just like power.
