resident Bola Tinubu has stated that the ruling All Progressives Congress will welcome the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, if he decides to join the party.
Tinubu gave the invitation on Wednesday for the inauguration of Arterial Road N16 to Arterial Road N20 and other roads in the Katampe District.
The President, who noted that the Minister was currently not a member of the APC, commended the FCT Administration for collaborating to deliver the project.
โWe have somebody in Nyesom Wike. Heโs not a member of our party, not yet. But the day he changes his mind and registers with the progressives, we will welcome him. Because we will join him in singing โas e dey pain them, e dey sweet usโ,โ the President said.
He described infrastructure as a necessity, noting that infrastructure would not fluorish without good roads, reiterating that his administration was โinvesting in roads, rainpower, health care, education and digital infrastructure.โ
โThis project represents more than a stretch of asphalt. It affirms our commitment to urban transformation, under our Renewed Hope Agenda. Since assuming office in May 2023, this administration has been guided by a philosophy anchored on reform and regeneration. Today, weโve seen tangible proof of that philosophy in action.
โInfrastructure is not a luxury. It is a necessity. It is the bedrock of national competitiveness, growth, social integration and economic opportunity. We recognise that our nationโs development is linked to the quality of infrastructure, connecting people, cities and industries. Thereโs no way industrialization will flourish without good roads.
โWe are investing in roads, rainpower, health care, education and digital infrastructure. It is only through this coordinated and integrated development that we can unlock Nigeriaโs full potential. I promise you, we will,โ the President stated.
