Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said he can sleep soundly on the presidential election day because President Bola Tinubu’s feats will ensure his re-election.

Speaking on Wednesday, after inspecting the ongoing Apo-Karshi and Bwari-Kubwa road projects, Mr Wike said he was sure that Mr Tinubu’s achievements would also translate to victories for the senatorial candidate Philip Aduda, and the House of Representatives candidate, John Gabaya, representing Bwari Federal Constituency. 

According to him, the infrastructure projects across the FCT, especially in long-neglected satellite towns, will dash hopes of the opposition in wooing residents to vote for them, and not the All Progressives Congress. 

Mr Wike said, “If good governance is a barometer to measure whether a government has succeeded or not, then we have nothing to fear. Now, the Tinubu administration has come and it’s not only listening to you, it’s not only caring for you, it’s solving your problems. Why will they want to change their mind?”

“This is the campaign. The people who will come, what will they come with? They will tell them stories. But we have not come with stories, we have come with facts, verifiable facts. I can beat my chest. I can close my eyes and go home and sleep with my two eyes closed, that Tinubu will emerge. I have no fear at all.

“The Renewed Hope administration has redefined infrastructure delivery as far as FCT is concerned, not just within the city, but also within the satellite towns.

“We thank God Almighty that has given us a President who has come to listen and to change the narrative that development must not only be concentrated within the city centres, but spread in the satellite towns.

Mr Wike promised that the long-delayed Apo-Karshi road project would be completed in November, and the dualisation of the Bwari-Kubwa road by December.

He assured that work on site would intensify by the first week of October when the seasonal heavy rains would have abated.
