Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has commented on the billboards that his supporters erected in Abuja in his praise.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu recently selected and inaugurated the former governor of Rivers State as the FCT Minister.
Despite the fact that the Minister has since returned to work, some of his supporters have gone ahead and mounted billboards to celebrate the former governor for his new position.

However, in response, Wike demanded that the activities cease going forward in a statement issued through the Director of Press, Office of the Minister, Anthony Ogunleye.
The statement released in Abuja on Sunday (today) reads: “The attention of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has been drawn to lamp post billboards, full-scale billboards, and other adverts congratulating him on his appointment as minister.
“While the minister deeply appreciates the warm wishes and support of the citizens, he kindly, but strongly requests that such billboards and advertisements be discontinued forthwith.
“The minister acknowledges the overwhelming goodwill from the residents of the FCT and beyond, understands the sentiment behind these congratulatory displays and is genuinely touched by the show of support.

“However, in the spirit of public service and commitment to his responsibilities, the minister wishes to focus his full attention on assisting President Bola Tinubu in realising his vision and renewed hope agenda for Nigeria.”
According to Ogunleye, Wike’s top priority is to contribute to the FCT’s development and growth, as well as the welfare of its citizens and the country as a whole.
The minister, he continued, held the hopes and expectations of the citizens of the FCT in high regard and remained committed to carrying out his duties with the highest sincerity and dedication.
He asserts that this may be done by putting all of one’s energy into the task at hand and collaborating with government employees to provide the best possible service to the nation.
