The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He stressed that he will align with any political leader who supports the current administration.
Wike made the remarks on Thursday, during the flag-off of Lot 2 of Water Supply Projects in Karu, Abuja.

He commended the Chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Christopher Maikalangu, and former Senator representing the FCT, Philip Aduda, for their cooperation with the federal government.
“The chairman has access to us. Anything he tells us, we will do. This is the only man I know.
“If he wins as chairman of AMAC, we will give him whatever he wants. I don’t know the party he belongs to.
“But I know that he supports Tinubu. Anybody who supports Tinubu, I will support him,” Wike declared.
He praised Maikalangu as “very good and hardworking,” noting that the AMAC chairman has used his position to attract several projects for residents.
According to him, “What matters is not the party you belong to, but whether you support the president’s vision for Nigeria.”
Wike also criticised previous administrations for neglecting satellite towns, particularly in the provision of potable water.
“We have had a government who stayed here for five years, isn’t that correct? We have had a government who stayed here for eight years too, is that correct? Has any government come to say, look, we will provide you water?” he asked the cheering crowd.
“Did this government promise it will give you water? Have we come now to give you water?” he added.
“So, you believe you have a covenant with this government. And the covenant is simple—agreement is agreement.
“The people of Karu will remember the government that remembers them,” he added.
