The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has mocked those who are against him.
Wike stated that those who speak ill of him are merely seeking opportunities to gain closer proximity to him.
Speaking on Friday while flagging off the construction of the Transit Way, N2, which connects the Central Area to Wuse District via two bridges, he stated that his enemies are using the projects he has executed in the capital city.
Wike said, “I told you that when you are doing your work, people may hate you. All those who hate us are using the road, all those who hate us will use the water, they will use the street light.
“So it’s an opportunity to improvise for them, you don’t need to worry yourselves, they are just looking for an opportunity to come closer to us and because we are very strict, the only way they can come closer to us is to blackmail us; unfortunately we don’t know the meaning, there is no blackmail in our dictionary.
“The only thing that we know in our dictionary is to work to the satisfaction of our people.”
The minister also threatened to facilitate the redeployment of the FCT Mandate Secretary on Security over his inability to provide him with updates on the construction of 12 police stations across the capital city.
Wike warned: “Director of Security, we have built not less than 12 police stations and up till now, you have not come to tell me how many are ready.
“The day I go and find out, that is the day that you will go to the Institute of Policy Studies so that you will allow another person to do the job.”
