Stressing that he can’t be influenced against carrying out
his duties, he warned that prayers can’t stop him.

He spoke during the commissioning of the rehabilitated Phase
2 Water Treatment Plant at Lower Usuma Dam, in Ushafa, Bwari Area Council.

Wike also revealed an incident that happened before he
assumed office as minister after his appointment by President Bola Tinubu.

According to him, he was asked to bring pastors to pray
before assuming office as minister because a lot of “things” were done before
him.

He said: “When I came to this place as a Minister, the first
day I was to resume, people say go and bring pastors to pray because a lot of
things have been done here. I said okay, I went there and nothing

“I will do my work and nobody can influence me, if you like
pray for 24 hours it will not work.

“If it’s right, it will work but if it’s for your own selfish
interest, for the government not to move forward, it will not work.

“I will do what is right if you like cry from morning till
night.”
