Tinubu Hails Wike as Outstanding Performer in Federal Cabinet

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has openly praised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, describing him as one of the brightest performers in his administration.

The president made the remark while commending ongoing infrastructure projects and reforms being carried out in Abuja under Wike’s leadership. Tinubu noted that the former Rivers State governor has demonstrated commitment, energy, and visible results since assuming office.

According to the president, Wike’s approach to governance reflects the administration’s broader vision of accountability, efficiency, and service delivery. He stressed that performance, rather than political background, remains the benchmark for evaluating members of his cabinet.

Tinubu highlighted several road construction and urban renewal projects across the FCT, saying they reflect purposeful leadership and a determination to transform the nation’s capital into a modern city that meets global standards.

In response, Wike expressed appreciation for the president’s confidence and reaffirmed his commitment to delivering on the mandate given to him. He stated that the FCT administration would continue to prioritize infrastructure, security, and improved living conditions for residents.

Wike also emphasized that his focus remains on results, not political distractions, adding that the support from the president serves as motivation to do more.

The praise has continued to generate reactions within political circles, with supporters viewing it as an endorsement of Wike’s performance, while critics see it as a sign of his growing influence within the Tinubu administration.

As the federal government pushes forward with its development agenda, analysts believe the FCT will remain a major reference point for assessing the administration’s impact in the coming years.
