The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, has lauded President Bola Tinubu for redefining leadership in Nigeria, crediting the president’s “Renewed Hope Agenda” with transforming Abuja and delivering visible dividends of democracy.
Speaking after inspecting several ongoing projects in the capital city as part of preparations to mark President Tinubu’s second year in office, Wike said the administration’s strides are evident in the smiles on the faces of Nigerians.
“I have said before that leadership is a major issue. When you have right leadership, people will benefit from it,” the minister stated.
According to Wike, the president’s commitment to first-class infrastructure has brought real development to residents of the FCT.
“Mr President has shown that he is willing to change Nigeria and make people happy through his ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’, which indeed is working,” he said. “I am happy to be identified with the leadership of Mr President and that is what Nigeria needs.”
Wike emphasized that the transformation of the capital city is plain for all to see.
“All of you can attest to the fact that indeed, Abuja has really changed,” he declared. “So, we are happy for it, and want to thank God Almighty for providing the right leadership through Mr President to provide the dividend of democracy to the residents of Abuja.”
Dismissing critics, Wike noted that only a pessimist or someone unwilling to see progress would deny the ongoing change.
“What makes us happy is when people are happy,” he added. “We are working for our people, and we are happy that we are fulfilling the promise we have made.”
Wike’s remarks come amid a flurry of infrastructure development and urban renewal projects across Abuja, timed to celebrate the Tinubu administration’s second anniversary.
