Wike reassured them of his commitment to ensuring justice for everyone during his term as minister, emphasizing that he would not discriminate against any religion.

He made these remarks during a meeting with the Committee of FCT Imams Initiative led by Dr. Tajudeen Adigun on Wednesday. Wike pledged to work towards the progress of the federal capital in alignment with President Bola Tinubu’s mandate.

Wike stated, “I am committed to upholding justice for all at all times. The government cannot operate in isolation; we must collaborate with all relevant stakeholders. Our primary goal is to advance the FCT.

We have a diverse population in the FCT, and it is our duty to create a conducive environment for all. We did not come here with the intention of victimizing any religion or individual. The President’s mandate is to ensure that Abuja realizes the aspirations of its founders.”

He cautioned religious leaders to exercise caution and not allow themselves to be manipulated by politicians who are desperate and seek to sow discord or spread misinformation.

Wike emphasized the importance of seeking clarity when confronted with unclear information rather than succumbing to political leaders’ propaganda, as it would not be productive for them.
