Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has appealed to his critics to allow him to pursue his political career without distraction. While on a “thank you” visit to Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Wike emphasized that politics is his primary profession and lifelong calling.

As a seasoned politician, Wike’s remarks are significant, particularly in the context of his current role as Minister of the FCT. His tour of local government areas in the state is seen as an effort to connect with his constituents and reinforce his commitment to public service. Wike’s message to his critics and supporters alike is one of focus and determination, as he continues to navigate the complexities of Nigerian politics.
With his political career spanning several decades, Wike has established himself as a prominent figure in Nigerian politics. His experience as a former governor and current minister has equipped him with a deep understanding of the country’s political landscape. As he moves forward in his career, Wike’s ability to navigate the complexities of Nigerian politics will be closely watched by his supporters and critics alike.
