PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has invited the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying the ruling party will welcome him if and when he decides to join.
Speaking on Wednesday, June 11, during the inauguration of Arterial Road N16 to Arterial Road N20 and other roads in the Katampe District of the territory, Tinubu commended the FCT Administration for collaborating to deliver the project.
He stated: “We have somebody in Nyesom Wike. He’s not a member of our party, not yet. But the day he changes his mind and registers with the progressives, we will welcome him, because we will join him in singing ‘as e dey pain them, e dey sweet us.”
Saying the project affirmed his administration’s commitment to transformation, the Preisent noted that his government was guided by a philosophy of reform and regeneration, describing infrastructure as a necessity that would not fluorish without good roads; hence his administration is “investing in roads, rainpower, health care, education and digital infrastructure.”
He added: “This project represents more than a stretch of asphalt; it affirms our commitment to urban transformation under our Renewed Hope Agenda. Since assuming office in May 2023, this administration has been guided by a philosophy anchored on reform and regeneration. Today, we’ve seen tangible proof of that philosophy in action.
“Infrastructure is not a luxury; it is a necessity. It is the bedrock of national competitiveness, growth, social integration and economic opportunity. We recognise that our nation’s development is linked to the quality of infrastructure, connecting people, cities and industries. There’s no way industrialisation will flourish without good roads.
“We are investing in roads, rainpower, health care, education and digital infrastructure. It is only through this coordinated and integrated development that we can unlock Nigeria’s full potential.
“I promise you, we will.”
