FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says FCT Senator Ireti Kingibe will not return to Nigeria’s National Assembly in 2027. Wike tells journalists that she should not expect re-election and makes the remark while responding to questions during an inspection of ongoing road projects in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The reports agree that Wike also defends the FCT Administration’s borrowing for infrastructure work. According to the outlets, he says loans taken by the administration followed due process and were approved by the National Assembly. One account adds that Wike characterizes Kingibe in derogatory terms while making his case, as he rejects her claims about the borrowing. Across the sources, the central points are Wike’s prediction about Kingibe’s political future and his insistence that the administration’s borrowing actions were properly authorized.
