The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Nyesom Wike, on Friday, described himself as the luckiest politician in Nigeria.
Wike said he is surrounded by his friends from Abia, Enugu, Sokoto and Cross River States whenever he has events in Abuja.
He spoke during the commissioning of the newly constructed Arterial Road N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way) from Life Camp Junction to Ring Road III (RR3).
At the event, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, Senator George Akume represented President Bola Tinubu at the event.
The project was commissioned as part of efforts to mark Tinubu’s second year in office.
However, Wike said: “Mr President, let me just say this; I don’t think there is any politician who is so lucky like me that each time we are doing something in Abuja, all my friends from my state, from your state, from Abia to Enugu, Sokoto and Cross River, name them, they all come.
“Let me, with your kind permission, thank the people of Rivers State and then all Nigerians. Those of you who are here, please take a bow before Mr President. Mr President, these guys are worthy of commendation.”
