FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says he will resign if his critics can prove that his claims about road construction awards in Abuja are false. Speaking in Abuja, Wike challenges opponents to come forward within 48 hours with evidence contradicting his administration’s road projects, particularly figures he has cited for road awards in the territory’s satellite towns.
Multiple reports state that Wike specifically referenced a total of 317 kilometers of roads. He frames his position as a test of the accuracy of his public statements and the records behind them. If the allegations or counter-evidence his critics present can substantiate that his claimed road award figures were incorrect or not awarded as he said, Wike indicates he is prepared to step down from his ministerial role.
The reports do not provide details on the identity of the critics, the exact nature of the dispute, or any independent verification within the coverage. Instead, they focus on Wike’s challenge and the short timeframe he sets for a response.
