 How Wike Insisted Godfatherism Would Not Work In Rivers State, Promised To Stay Out Of State Affairs After Leaving Office

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has notified traders at the Apo Mechanic Village of imminent relocation.

Naija News reports that Wike made this known on Tuesday, during the inspection of the ongoing construction of the left-hand service carriageway of the OSEX from Ring Road 1 (Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway) to Wasa Junction.

Wike said that the committee on the relocation of the traders was doing its job to relocate them to a permanent site in Wasa in the interest of the public and not anybody’s particular interest.

According to the minister, the traders were already aware that the road project would pass through the area, adding that the FCTA was not envisaging any problem on the issue of relocating the traders.

He said, “The committee is doing their work. You know that the road is going to pass through that area. So, that is not going to be a problem.

“We have told them that when we get to that point, they have no choice but to leave for the interest of everybody. It’s not for anybody’s particular interest. It’s for the public.

“It is the directive of Mr. President to see that all areas, not only the city but also in the satellite towns are all opened up with road infrastructure.

“You will not believe it now that all the roads we are doing in the satellite towns are going to be provided with solar street lights, which has never happened.

So, it is wonderful, we are happy with what we are seeing and we are happy with what the contractors are doing. Indeed, the Renewed Hope Agenda is working, it’s a reality. People can see with their eyes. It’s not that you are told.”
