The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, has appealed to well-wishers to stop displaying congratulatory billboards in his honor.

 

In a statement on Sunday, Wike’s spokesperson, Anthony Ogunleye, said the minister “deeply appreciates the warm wishes and support” but wants the attention focused elsewhere.

 

“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 realizing his vision and renewed hope agenda for Nigeria,” the statement read.

 

Ogunleye said Wike’s primary duty is contributing to the development and growth of the FCT and the well-being of its residents and Nigeria overall.

 

The minister holds the aspirations and expectations of Abuja residents in high regard and remains dedicated to fulfilling his role sincerely, Ogunleye added. This requires concentrating all efforts on the task at hand with public servants.

 

“Wike sincerely hopes that the public will understand his perspective and continue to extend their support and cooperation,” Ogunleye said.
