By Samaila Emmanuel Bzugu

President Bola Tinubu has praised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, describing him as a “good man” and a “performing minister”. Tinubu’s commendation came during a recent media chat, where he also attributed the challenges faced by Wike to Nigerians’ lack of compliance, particularly in paying rent on time.

Tinubu’s endorsement of Wike is significant, given the minister’s role in overseeing the FCT. The president’s remarks suggest that he values Wike’s contributions to his administration and does not see him as a political liability.

This development comes on the heels of Tinubu’s first presidential media chat, where he addressed various national issues, including the removal of fuel subsidies.
