- Says Tinubu should be credited for fixing what former Presidents could not do
- Assures Nigerians on Tinubu’s delivery
Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has said President Bola Tinubu broke a jinx by appointing Nyesom Wike as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Oshiomhole said Tinubu’s decision to appoint Wike as FCT Minister was ground-breaking.
Addressing journalists on Wednesday, Oshiomhole said Tinubu gave every part of Nigeria hope with his ministerial appointment.
He also noted that President Bola Tinubu should be credited for fixing what former Presidents could not do.
Oshiomhole assured Nigerians that Tinubu was already laying a solid foundation for the development of the country.
According to Oshiomhole said: “May this government be credited as the one that fixed what others could not fix. This will not be a government of lamentation, but one that will do what others failed to do.
“This singular move shows that anyone can become the minister regardless of their birthplace, tongue and dialect.
“For me, one of the ground-breaking decisions President Tinubu has taken is to give every part of Nigeria a hope that regardless of your birthplace, tongue or dialect, you can be the Minister of the FCT.”
Meanwhile, Wike, on Wednesday, inspected the Abuja Rail Mass Transit (ARMT) System rehabilitation project as the first official assignment.
Mr Wike told journalists during a visit to the ARMT Metro Station in Abuja that the measure was part of his resolve to address challenges affecting public transportation in the FCT.
According to him, transportation is one of the sectors he intends to transform in a short time to improve public transportation in the capital city.
“Transportation is one of the sectors we intend to intervene in the short term to reduce traffic congestion within the city.
“I know that we have a metro station in Abuja, and it is not working; why is it not working? Can we fix it within a short time,” he asked.
He noted that while there were other lots of projects that were not completed, people would have confidence in the one that was completed and working.
He stressed that it was not a good idea to begin another rail project while the one that was finished remained unusable.
He said that every project that commenced must be finished before embarking on another one, considering the availability of resources.
