The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared himself the luckiest politician in Nigeria, citing the unwavering support he receives from political allies across the country.
Wike made the statement on Friday during the official commissioning of the newly constructed Arterial Road N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way), which stretches from Life Camp Junction to Ring Road III (RR3) in Abuja.
The event, part of activities to mark President Bola Tinubu’s second year in office, had the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, representing the president.
Expressing his appreciation, Wike said, “Mr President, let me just say this; I don’t think there is any politician who is so lucky like me that each time we are doing something in Abuja, all my friends from my state, from your state, from Abia to Enugu, Sokoto and Cross River, name them, they all come.”
He continued by acknowledging the support of his home state and other well-wishers:
“Let me, with your kind permission, thank the people of Rivers State and then all Nigerians. Those of you who are here, please take a bow before Mr President. Mr President, these guys are worthy of commendation.”
