Hate him or love him, this man is the Man of the Moment. The question is, is he the only Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under President Tinubu’s administration, where we have over 40 ministers?
Barrister Nyesom Wike is fast becoming the President of Nigeria we know. Can you see the FCT in just two years? That’s unbelievable.
Someone said, “Do you know how much President Tinubu has borrowed in his administration?” and the question is, have governments not been borrowing? Buhari had a Minister for FCT for eight solid years, and they borrowed a lot of money too, where is it?
They said that Wike is the cause of Rivers’ problem, Wike is the problem of PDP. Some people are praying for him to die, but does Wike really deserve a prayer to have him dead, considering what he is doing?
No one is perfect, and no one is a saint either. I am not a fan of Wike, but I think that his enemies also love him at this hour.
Some have started to advocate making Wike the substantive Minister of Petroleum Resources so that our refineries can be fixed.
If this man can turn around Abuja in less than two years, what makes you think he can’t turn around refineries in less than a year?
I am always one of those who say that Nigeria’s problem is not fully corruption but also the passion, zeal, and compassion to do things. They can give a lot of people money, but they don’t know what to do with it. Wike is given money, and he knows how and what to do with it.
Please, let’s give him more jobs.
Wike is not my fan, but he is the best in Nigeria when it comes to mobilizing, monitoring projects, and seeing them to completion.
We need him to fix our refineries.
