I’m not here to sell land, Wike speaks on mission serving in Tinubu govt

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed the notion that he came to Abuja for personal benefits including selling the pricey land.

He also disclosed real reasons he accepted to serve in President Bola Tinubu administration.

Wike said he accepted to be part of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government because he wanted to help the administration of Bola Tinubu.

Speaking during the flag off of the construction of the 15.4-kilometre Pai-Gomani road project in Kwali Area Council on Tuesday, Wike said he did not become a minister to sell land in Abuja.

The former Rivers State governor said, “The government of President Ahmed Tinubu will allow everybody to benefit, to participate, to have the dividends of democracy.”

The minister also asked Nigerians to be patient with Tinubu’s government amid the widespread hardship in the country.

He said, “That is what I have told our people. Mr. President has promised you, give me time, be patient, I will get to all of you.

“All the Area Councils must have the impact of the government of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is the President and Commander in Chief.”

He said the Tinubu government had made it part of its agenda to provide the needed infrastructure in the FCT.

“I want to say clearly, let everybody hear me; I did not become a minister to come and sell land. I took this position to support Mr. President to improve the infrastructure of the FCT. That is why every day, our concern is infrastructure and infrastructure, be it in the city or rural areas.

“Whether you are in the PDP, whether you are in APC, whether you don’t even believe in any party, you must use this road.

“So, this road is very important. No matter how far it is, we will make out from time to time to see that we come here and see if the contractor is doing what he is supposed to do.”
