Wike To Well-wishers: I Don’t Need Your Congratulatory Messages
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, has told his well-wishers and supporters to refrain from placing congratulatory messages on billboards in his honour.
Wike has therefore urged those congratulating him via lamp post billboards, full scale billboards and other adverts outlets to discontinue them forthwith.
The FCT minister’s directive was contained in a statement issued on Sunday, August 27, 2023 by the Director of Press in his office, Mr Anthony Ogunleye, saying that while Wike acknowledged the overwhelming goodwill from the residents of the FCT and beyond as well as understood the sentiment behind the congratulatory displays and is genuinely touched by the show of support, he however said that his foremost duty lies in contributing to the development and growth of the FCT and the well-being of residents and the nation as a whole.
The statement further said; “In the spirit of public service and commitment to his responsibilities, the minister wishes to focus his full attention on assisting President Bola Tinubu in realising his vision and renewed hope agenda for Nigeria”.
It also said that Wike held in high regards, the aspirations and expectations of the FCT residents, and remained dedicated to fulfilling his role with utmost sincerity and dedication.
The minister said that this can be only achieved by concentrating all efforts on the task at hand and joining hands with public servants to serve the country to the best of their abilities.
The minister expressed the hope that the public will understand his perspective and continue to extend their support and cooperation thus, looked forward to working hand in hand with all stakeholders to build a stronger, more prosperous, and united FCT and Nigeria.
