Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa state, Northeastern Nigeria has congratulated Nyesom Wike on his appointment as minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Gatekeepers News reports that President Bola Tinubu swore in 45 ministers-designate, at the banquet hall of the presidential villa in Abuja on Monday.
Fintiri, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in a post on the X platform (formerly Twitter) on Monday said Wike’s appointment is “well deserved.”
The Governor added that Wike’s service to the people of Rivers while he was their governor, earned him his current position.
Fintiri said, “Congratulations on your Senate screening and appointment as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja.
“Your Excellency, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike you have set precedence and demonstrated exemplary leadership traits by delivering service and good governance according to the people’s need during your tenure as Governor of Rivers State which I believe earned you this position.
“I trust that you will continue to work for improved growth and development of the FCT just like you did in Rivers State as Governor.
“I am confident that your influence will continue to encourage our proud tradition of hard work and dedication to country as well as involvement in worthwhile political causes.
“My brother and friend once more congratulations on your appointment.
“I know you have worked hard to reach this point, and I am so happy that you have been recognized for your accomplishment with this new assignment.
“It is well-deserved.”
Wike, a member of the opposition PDP, was one of 45 ministerial nominees screened and confirmed by the senate.
The FCT Minister Wike said he had written to leaders of his party, including the acting chairman of the PDP Iliya Damagum, adding that he got their approval to be part of Tinubu’s cabinet.
