According to Ajibola Basiru, national secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is employed by President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Wike works for the APC-led federal administration led by Tinubu, despite not being an APC member, Basiru explained.
Speaking on TVC’s Beyond The Headlines, Basiru said that the party’s victory in the most recent FCT local government elections was largely due to the extent of infrastructure development that has been seen throughout the FCT over the previous two and a half years.
He described the minister’s work as “sterling” and pointed out that the gains were seen in both urban and suburban areas.
Basiru went on to say that the APC’s electoral success in the FCT was largely due to the minister’s administrative work, the party’s strategic involvement, and the cautious selection of candidates with solid political backgrounds from other parties.
He underlined that the party’s electoral success and the efficient distribution of democratic dividends under the current FCT government are inextricably linked.
“Wike is not a member of our party, but he works for an APC government headed by Tinubu,” Basiru stated.
“When you observe the enormous infrastructure development that has taken place in the FCT, both in the suburbs and the metropolitan areas.
“Over the last two and a half years, you’ll find that the FCT Minister’s outstanding performance, our party’s engagement, and the careful selection of candidates with stellar backgrounds from various political parties have all contributed to the APC’s victory in the FCT local government elections.
Therefore, you cannot disregard the triumph of our party in that election as evidence of the efficient administrative deployment of the benefits of democracy in the FCT under the current FCT administration.
