Residents of the Federal Capital Territory on Friday described the calls for the resignation of Chief Nyesom Wike as foolish, childish and irrational.
‘’The so-called APC members and leaders are off the rails. They are the most pronounced foes of President Bola Tinubu’’
They also described Wike’s performance as wonderful.
“Nyesom Wike’s contributions to the development of the FCT, Rivers State and the country are impossible to estimate’’.
The residents under the auspices of All Abuja Residents Forum (AARF) applauded Wike for contributing to the progress of the country, bringing about deep and profound changes in the Federal Capital Territory and placing premium on service, integrity and efficiency.
The stance of the residents was articulated by AARF President, Alhaji Tanko Abubakar during a protest in Abuja.
The residents rebuked the APC chieftains and groups for confusing the public on the Rivers State issue.
They described the recent comments of the APC National Secretary as distasteful and provocative.
The residents underscored the minister’s service to humanity, sense of duty and responsibility.
They urged Wike not to allow the negative attitude of some individuals to crush his spirit.
‘’Since his appointment, Nyesom Wike has been alive to his duty to the residents. He has worked assiduously to transform the nation’s capital’’.
Particularly, the residents commended Wike for tackling thorny issues, stimulating Tinubu’s imagination to new visions of things to be done in the Federal Capital Territory and handling problems with general skill and efficiency.
“Chief Nyesom Wike is an honest and highly effective leader. He has built a reputation anchored on integrity over the years. He deserves the biggest thanks for ensuring the development of the Federal Capital Territory and stability of Nigeria” they added
