Politics Won’t Stop Development Projects in FCT, Says Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has assured residents of Abuja that ongoing and planned development projects across the territory will not be halted or slowed by political activities as the 2027 general elections approach.Wike made this commitment on Tuesday while flagging off the construction of service carriageways along the Southern Parkway, from Arterial Road S20 (Oladipo Diya Way) to Ring Road II. The project is part of several initiatives being commissioned to mark President Bola Tinubu’s third year in office. The minister emphasised that the FCT Administration remains committed to transforming the nation’s capital in line with President Tinubu’s directives, regardless of the political climate.“Today is our 10th day of commissioning projects, and today was specifically selected because so many people have been asking questions: ‘Are you saying that after commissioning these projects, now that we are going into politics, there will be no more projects to embark upon?’” Wike said.He added: “We say no. Politics or no politics, we must continue to do that which Mr President has directed, to make sure that we change the entire landscape of the Federal Capital Territory.”Wike expressed strong confidence that Abuja’s infrastructure would undergo massive transformation before the end of President Tinubu’s first term.“Let me clearly say that by the time Mr President finishes his first tenure on May 29, 2027, and before he is sworn in as President in his second tenure, the landscape of Abuja will entirely change to the glory of God,” he stated. He noted that the various road and infrastructure projects currently underway are aimed at improving connectivity, easing traffic, and enhancing the overall quality of life for residents and visitors alike.President Tinubu was represented at the event by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda.The Southern Parkway project forms part of the broader infrastructure drive led by the FCT Administration under Wike’s stewardship.
