The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has called on Abuja residents to rally behind leaders who have demonstrated loyalty to President Bola Tinubu, stating that his own support will only go to those aligned with the President’s vision.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking on Thursday at the flag-off of Lot 2 of the Karu Water Supply Project, Wike commended former FCT senator Philip Aduda and Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) chairman Christopher Maikalangu for their contributions to community development. He promised to construct a two-kilometre road in Karu following Aduda’s request and praised Maikalangu’s record of attracting federal projects to the council.

“One thing about government and politics: support those who have the capacity to bring something to the people. Support those the government will listen to,” Wike said, assuring that his administration would prioritize leaders who deliver results.

He emphasized that Maikalangu enjoys direct access to the FCT administration, which has enabled the rehabilitation of several roads, including the Saburi Road, Kabusa–Takushere Road and Deidei Road. Wike further pledged that if Maikalangu is re-elected AMAC chairman, his office would grant full support regardless of party affiliation.

“I don’t know the party he belongs to, but I know he supports Tinubu. Anybody who supports Tinubu, I will support him,” the former Rivers State governor declared.

Wike criticized previous governments for neglecting Karu communities, particularly in providing clean water, while noting that President Tinubu’s administration had fulfilled its promise to deliver potable water to satellite towns.

“We’ve had governments stay here for five years, even eight years. Did any come to give you water? This government promised water—and now we’ve come to deliver it. You now have a covenant with this government: agreement is agreement,” Wike said.

Aduda, who represented the FCT in the Senate from 2011 to 2023 under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), lost his seat in the last general election, while Maikalangu defected from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2024 and is seeking re-election in the February 2026 area council polls.
