Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike expressed his gratitude for the support he receives from friends across various states in Nigeria, calling himself the luckiest politician in the country.
Gatekeepers News reports that Wike made this remark the commissioning ceremony of the newly constructed Arterial Road N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way), which connects Life Camp Junction to Ring Road III (RR3).
The event was attended by key figures, including Senator George Akume, who represented President Bola Tinubu.
The project was inaugurated as part of the celebrations marking the second anniversary of Tinubu’s administration.
However, Wike said: “Mr President, let me just say this; I don’t think there is any politician who is so lucky like me that each time we are doing something in Abuja, all my friends from my state, from your state, from Abia to Enugu, Sokoto and Cross River, name them, they all come.
“Let me, with your kind permission, thank the people of Rivers State and then all Nigerians. Those of you who are here, please take a bow before Mr President. Mr President, these guys are worthy of commendation.”
