The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has stated that he is happy to be identified with the leadership of President Bola Tinubu adding that the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President is working as he may not be able to commission all the projects executed to commemorate his second year in office in two weeks.
Wike made the disclosure on Saturday during an inspection of ongoing road projects, including the Outer Southern Expressway II to Wassa, and the Gishiri Interchange in Abuja, on Saturday.
The Minister said that Tinubu has provided what he described as “first class infrastructure” to the residents of Abuja, adding that the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda is working.
“I’ve said it before; leadership is a major issue. When you have the right leadership, people will benefit from it. Mr. President has shown that he is willing to change. He is willing to provide happiness for the people, and indeed, the Renewed Home Agenda is working.
“I am happy to be identified with the leadership of Mr. President, and that is what Nigeria needs. Mr. President has given first-class infrastructure to Abuja. All of you can attest to the fact that, indeed, Abuja has really changed. So we are happy. I want to thank God Almighty for providing the right leadership in Mr. President to provide the dividends of democracy to the residents of Abuja.
“I don’t see why anybody would say that Mr. President has not done well except if you are blind, except you don’t want to admit something that you know is good. We are happy that we have fulfilled the promises that we made,” he said.
Some of the projects slated for inauguration include the Abuja International Conference Centre and the Greater Abuja Water Supply project.
“By next week, we will be able to provide all the projects that will be inaugurated during Mr. President’s second year anniversary but this (Gishiri) is one of them; the OSEX to Wassa Junction is also one of them, the International Conference Centre is another one.
“We have so many roads, both in the satellite towns and in the city. Even the Abuja Greater Water Scheme will also be inaugurated. So we have a lot of projects. It will take us about two weeks to inaugurate most of our projects,” he stated.
