Minister Wike Breaks Official Protocol For Touching Moment With Students

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, deviated from official protocol during an inspection tour of the Gishiri Road and Interchange in Abuja to interact with enthusiastic school children and their teachers.

The moment occurred when students and staff of Foursquare New Heights Academy noticed the minister and began cheering. In response, Wike walked over, greeted them warmly, and took photos with them.

Speaking to journalists afterward, Wike expressed his delight, saying, “We are happy. The people of Abuja are happy. You can see the children’s joy—they are feeling the impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda.”

Since taking office, Wike has overseen the construction of roads and bridges and is actively working to restore the Abuja master plan.

Meanwhile, controversy continues to trail Wike’s role in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as a senior party member in Akwa Ibom, Tom FredFish, accused him of being appointed solely to undermine the opposition.

FredFish, who leads the PDP Advocate for Peace and Justice (PAPAJ), urged the party to invoke constitutional provisions to expel Wike, citing consistent actions he believes have harmed PDP’s unity and interests.

In a media chat in Uyo, FredFish challenged Wike’s claims of working for the PDP, asking, “What kind of hard work is he doing for the party—positive or destructive?”

He also referenced Wike’s alleged betrayal during the 2023 elections and his involvement in the defection of 27 lawmakers in Rivers State to the APC.

FredFish stressed that Wike has done more to damage PDP’s image than any other individual, calling on key party leaders—such as Atiku Abubakar, David Mark, and BOT Chairman Senator Adolphus Wabara—to unite and enforce disciplinary measures against Wike under Sections 10(6), 57, 58, and 59 of the party’s constitution.
