Say What You Want’ – Wike Shows No Fear Amid Criticism

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that he is unbothered by public criticism.

Speaking on Monday during the flag-off of the construction of Access Roads ILS 02 and ILS 03 (Timipre Sylva Street) in Mabushi District, Abuja, Wike said the only thing that could concern him is if President Bola Tinubu is dissatisfied with his performance.

He also issued a stern warning to contractors attempting to collude with civil servants over project awards within the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).

Wike stated, “Say whatever you want—I am not swayed by blackmail. My skin is thick and strong. In politics, you must expect people to talk against you, so I am not worried. The only concern I have is if my appointing authority is not satisfied with my work.

“No one should think I hold grudges. If I see commitment in sectors like transport or agriculture, and you align with the renewed Hope agenda, I will support your efforts.”
