The Arewa Youth Assembly has called on the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike to ignore the continuous efforts of saboteurs to distract him from restoring the original master plan of the FCT.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Speaker of the Assembly, Mohammed Danlami in Abuja and made available to the media.
The call came following the recent outbursts after the demolition of some structures in Asokoro district of Abuja on the instruction of the Minister.
The Speaker explained that Wike is not targeting any particular individual or ethnic group as alleged by some, but is working on restoring Abuja’s master plan which exists.
“Everything he has done since his appointment is to transform Abuja, make it safe, investment friendly, healthy and habitable for all Nigerians irrespective of their religion or ethnic background.
“To pronounce otherwise, is a deliberate, orchestrated and well rehearsed devilish script from those disgruntled individuals who are enemies of the gigantic reforms and well meaning projects brought on board by the Honourable Minister.
“They have tried to distract him and sabotage these projects using several attempts that have all failed and their desperation have led them to hiding behind ethnicity to cause chaos and distracting the Honourable Minister who is tirelessly working to fulfill Mr President’s renewed hope agenda.
“At this juncture, we will not relent, but caution with a strong voice against unguarded and inciting speeches, those in the act of spreading it should be careful and desist form doing so or face the wrath of the law as their comments are capable of propagating violence and lawlessness in the society”, the statement said.
The group urged individuals who feels unhappy about the ongoing infrastructural revolution by the Minister to turn to the relevant authority and let the rule of law prevail.
“While we call on the Honourable Minister, Barrister Ezenwo Neysom Wike to ignore all the distractions in whatever forms they might appear and continue to develop Abuja, we urge all Nigerians irrespective of their tribe or religion to stand united behind the Minister and support him in actualizing the dream of transforming Abuja to a model city in the world”, the statement added.
