The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, has commended members of the Rivers State House of Assembly for their unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu despite challenges.
According to Mr. Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant to the minister on Public Communications and Social Media, Wike expressed this praise during a visit to the lawmakers at the House of Assembly Quarters in Port Harcourt.
Wike acknowledged the lawmakers for standing for what is right in the state, highlighting their trustworthiness and capacity to lead with strong principles. He encouraged them to continue upholding these values, noting that they have distinguished themselves nationally as a beacon of democracy.
The minister criticized the Rivers State Government for withholding the lawmakers’ entitlements before the declaration of the State of Emergency, calling it unfair to deny elected officials their dues over disagreements.
Wike also thanked the Assembly members for gifting him a car and praised their support for him and their dedication to the welfare of the people of Rivers State.
He remarked on the unity within the Assembly, saying, “If you have not had the opportunity to be in the corridors of power, you will not understand that a man can be influenced negatively by his spouse and a woman can be influenced negatively by her spouse. But here in the State House of Assembly, all of them have shown that they are working together for the development of the state.”
Reflecting on his political experience, Wike added, “I have been in politics actively and I have seen it all. This is the first time I have seen legislators telling the world what they stand for and standing firm and that we are a different arm of government and not a department of government.”
