The Abuja Original Inhabitant Youth Empowerment Organisation (AOIYEO) has reacted to Nyesom Wike’s appointment as the minister of Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
In a congratulatory message to Wike, the FCT indigenes urged him to replicate his achievements in River state in Nigeria’s capital city.
While appreciating President Bola Tinubu for the appointment, FCT natives expressed optimism that Wike would give the nation’s capital city a facelift.
In the statement signed by the president, Commandant Isaac David, the natives noted Abuja required somebody bold to maintain strict adherence to the master plan, restore normalcy in the area of security and strongly commit to nation-building.
“Given the background of the new minister, we are very confident that his giant strides in Port-Harcourt would be replicated here because he is bold, strong and committed to nation building,” David said.
“All these we have seen in Nyesom Wike, and we believe he would repeat such capabilities in Abuja.
“Most importantly, we will urge the minister to carry along all Abuja indigenous stakeholders, especially the youths, in the scheme of running the government because proper understanding of the complex nature and structure of Abuja warrants that the minister needs to work hand in hand with these original inhabitants and the residents for a successful tenure,” he added.
