An FCT minister, according to Daniel Bwala, a former spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council in the 2023 presidential election, is really a glorified commissioner.
This was said by Bwala in response to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, criticizing the PDP recently during an interview on Politics Today on Channels TV. He claimed that intimidating the opposition is Wike’s main goal as minister of the FCT. His main goal in the FCT, according to Bwala, is to scare and outsmart the opposition; you will witness this in the upcoming days when he employs Machiavellian principles.
“We are moving toward a one party system in Nigeria. Most of the problems we see in some African countries are because most of the leaders are trying to make the states practically one party states. “People massage his (Wike’s) ego to make him feel like he is the governor of the FCT. A minister of the FCT is a glorified commissioner constitutionally.

That is why if FCT were to be a state, it would carry the characteristics, functionalities and capacity of a state.” Bwala added that the PDP would expel Wike at the appropriate time. He added, “We hardly react to him because he loves drama, everybody knows that. The party knows what it is doing. At the appropriate time, he would not only be suspended but expelled. Take that to the bank.”
