A serving Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory under the platform of the Labour Party, Ireti Kingibe, has said that the performance of the FCT minister Nyesom Wike has not impressed the residents.
The Senator who said this, while appearing on Arise News TV on Sunday, added that all infrastructural projects inaugurated by Wike so far would not benefit the masses.
She accused the minister of not being interested in solving critical socio-economic issues affecting the people of FCT.
She said, “The minister may be a great minister in a ministry that has no people. But the unique situation of the FCT minister is that apart from infrastructure and roads, he also has to take into consideration the needs of the people in that community. That is the difference between him and the minister of works, or any other ministry.
