Allow Wike to discharge official duties – Group

The Coalition of Rivers State Leaders of Thoughts, an NGO, has urged political elements to allow the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, to discharge his duties for the betterment of FCT and Nigeria.

This is contained in a statement jointly signed by the convener, Chief Sunnie Chukumele, and Chairman, Board of Trustee of the NGO, Retired Gen. A. B. Mamman (Rtd), respectively, in Abuja on Sunday.

The group said, “We caution that Wike should be allowed to discharge his duties and mandate for the betterment of FCT and Nigeria.

“How can Abuja develop without an intentional and purposeful administration such as Wike?". Take a look at what he did in Rivers State as governor and know what he will turn Abuja into,” they said.

According to the group, it is better to always engage constructively than engage in an embarrassing public show.

"We, however, wish to commend those other groups that showed solidarity with our son. At least, it shows that there are numerous others who appreciate the good works of Wike in the FCT."
