Wike promises FCT residents more democracy dividends in 2026

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has promised FCT residents more dividends of democracy in 2026.
Mr Wike made the promise during his end-of-the-year media chat in Port Harcourt on Monday.
He said the outgoing year had been very good, with many positive changes in the territory, despite challenges.
“For me, it has been a very, very tremendous year, even though we might not have achieved what we set out for ourselves to achieve due to one or two setbacks.
“Notwithstanding, 2025 has been a very good year for us, and I believe that in 2016, the residents of the FCT will see more positive changes,” he said.
The minister said he had no regrets over any decision he had taken, adding that he had achieved most of what he set out to do in 2025.
He, however, noted that being human, things might not go smoothly all the time, adding, however, that he had no regret.
“I don’t have any regret. Any role I have taken, everything I have set out for myself, I have been able to achieve.
“Yes, there could be one or two setbacks, like I have said; it is bound to happen, but every decision I have taken, I have no regret,” the minister said.
