The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has rejected allegations by what he described as enemies of Abuja’s development, accusing him of stealing taxpayers’ money during his tenure as Governor of Rivers State and repeating the same as FCT minister.
Wike dismissed the claims as politically motivated, insisting they are part of a coordinated smear campaign aimed at undermining the progress being recorded in the nation’s capital.
According to him, those promoting the allegations are being sponsored by forces uncomfortable with the reforms and visible developments taking place in Abuja.
The minister maintained that he did not enter politics to amass illicit wealth but to serve Nigerians, stressing that God has given him the opportunity to serve the country in public office for more than 20 years.
