The Federal Capital Territory ( FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike has taken a swipe on the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) describing them as hypocrites for allegedly attacking the Federal High Court Judgement that sacked Senator David Mark-led leadership of the party.
Wike, who on Monday in Abuja spoke at Kwali during the Stakeholders Interactive meeting, said ADC leaders celebrated the Supreme Court’s pronouncement which favoured them on their lingering leadership tussle, but decided to deride the judiciary, now that another judicial decision on the same matter is against them.
The Minister called on Nigerians to take note of this display of unstable character and be sure that the ADC candidates were not elected to rule at any level of governance in the country.
According to Wike, such hypocrisy as has been continuously displayed by ADC leaders was capable of further dividing the country and also delaying the much-desired progress.
“Isn’t it that a party is a vehicle that you enter intentionally to go where you are going? When you get there, you talk about development, you talk about good governance, and how you can bring welfare to your people,” he stated.
The Minister went further to urge FCT residents to consider what the current administration under President Bola Tinubu has done to alleviate their age-old adverse conditions and vote for him, instead of the candidate that ADC is projecting.
He also highlighted some of the achievements of Tinubu in Abuja, which include the establishment of the FCT Civil Service Commission, the appointment of a native Head of Service, and the removal of the FCT from the Single Treasury Account (TSA).
“There is no need to be fighting. For the interest of the people, for the interest of FCT, that is what we are talking about,” he added.
