Wike said it does not make sense for critics to say FCT is
working while Tinubu is not.

He spoke during the flag off of the construction of Mohammed
Isa Road Extension in Asokoro District, Abuja, on Monday.

The Minister said Tinubu’s vision of making Abuja compete
with other cities in the world in being carried out.

He said: “Does it make sense to say the FCT is working but
Mr. President is not working? Is everything being done in the FCT today not on
the instruction of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu?

“For us, no sector will be left untouched. Through us, we
carry out the vision of Mr President and one of the visions he has is that FCT
must compete favourbly with other cities of the world.”

Wike also disclosed that Abuja would have been a better
place if most projects being undertaken by him were carried out by the previous
administrations.

He added: “Therefore, let Nigerians be truthful to
themselves, let us tell ourselves the honest truth that if these things were
done before now, probably we would have channeled our resources to other
things.

“But because they were not done, we cannot close our eyes
and say it should not be done. And therefore it looks as if nothing is going
on.

“Because people who had the opportunity to carry out these
activities refused to. But this government has come and made sure that all
these things are done. Put Abuja in a proper perspective that the world, when
you come, you say look, that is a beautiful city.

“And what we owe is to continue to support that
administration that has shown leadership, that administration that has shown
commitment to change our lives.

“Yes, it will not be miraculous, but it has to take time and
it is moving. The way Abuja was two years ago is not the way it is today. And
it will not be the way it will be tomorrow.”
