Wike Gives Condition to Resign From Tinubu’s Cabinet, Video Surfaces

FCT, Abuja – Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has publicly dared critics to disprove road construction claims tied to President Bola Tinubu’s administration, staking his resignation on the figures he presented at a commissioning ceremony in Abuja on Friday, July 17, 2026.

Speaking during the inauguration of the reconstructed Arab/Gbazango road in Kubwa, Wike said 221 kilometres of roads have been completed out of 317 kilometres awarded across satellite towns in the FCT since Tinubu assumed office in May 2023.

The minister directed his remarks at those he described as detractors of the administration’s urban renewal programme.

Wike said:

The people of the satellite towns have felt the impact of governance. It has never happened in the history of the administration of this country.

If there is anybody who has a contrary view, let him come out and challenge us that all these you are saying is not correct, I will resign as the minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
