Former Governor of Rivers State and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has vowed that Ireti Kingibe, Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), won’t return to the senate in 2027.
Wike was reacting to an earlier claim by the senator that FCT residents were not impressed with Wike’s performance.
Kingibe, had featured as a guest on Arise TV, and alleged that Wike is out of touch with the needs of FCT residents.
She added that the FCT has no schools, no hospitals and lacks potable water.
In his response, Wike said he is not in office to please her, adding that he has done well within the short time of his appointment.
Wike further said, it was disheartening that instead of collaborating with the FCT Administration, Kingibe was instead angry that residents were praising the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
In his words, Wike said “I challenge that legislator. If you are very popular, 2027 come and run under Abuja, we will fail you. Do you think that what happened last time will happen again? It will not happen again. Luckily for me, I am the FCT Minister now. So that is my territory and I’m not afraid.
