Abuja, Nigeria – The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has expressed serious concerns regarding the state of affairs within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), warning that the party risks losing his backing in the upcoming Abuja Area Council elections. Speaking during a media briefing in Abuja on Friday, Wike criticized the PDP for what he described as a lack of preparedness for the 2027 general elections. He underscored the ongoing internal conflicts and persistent impunity within the party as major red flags. “For anyone to say they want to lead the opposition, it’s not just by words — it demands real sacrifice,” Wike stated emphatically. He also noted that the PDP Governors’ Forum, though perceived as powerful, operates more like a pressure group rather than an official decision-making body within the party. This, according to him, weakens its ability to effectively shape the direction of the opposition party. The FCT Minister stressed that unless the PDP takes immediate steps to restructure and resolve its internal crises, he will withdraw support during the FCT Area Council elections scheduled to hold soon. “If the PDP does not put their house in order, I will not support them for the Area Council election,” he declared.

According to Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), cab driving is a respectable way to earn a living and ought to be encouraged. Wike made this statement on Thursday when he gave beneficiaries some new automobiles to operate as taxis at the FCT Renewed Hope Youth Empowerment Program in Abuja. “They’re not making any payments. No, according to the government, this is our way of helping you provide for your family and lowering the cost of city transportation. The minister stated that Abuja ought to compete with other cities worldwide. He urged the recipients to not feel embarrassed about their newfound ability to drive taxis, pointing out that many Nigerians who would otherwise turn down domestic taxi driving employment gladly accept such as when they go overseas. You’ll notice on social media that he wants them to work as cab drivers. According to the former governor of Rivers State, “we travel and see Nigerians who stay abroad and work as taxi drivers.” The Nigerians back home will claim, “Our uncle is in London, my uncle is in Houston, my uncle is in Paris, and my uncle has sent us $200. However, the uncle overseas earns his living by driving a taxi, providing for his family, and paying taxes.” READ ALSO: Atiku warns the judiciary Not To Put Rivers On Fire. The next thing we’ll see on social media is that they’re hiring them to drive cabs, rather than teaching us how to provide for our families. “We prefer taxi driving in, but we can’t be taxi drivers here.” London. That’s the nation you’re in. The minister stated that starting in January 2025, any commercial bus that has not been properly profiled by security authorities would not be permitted to run within the nation’s capital in an effort to reduce kidnapping and instances of “one-chance” robbery. The majority of motorcyclists and Keke Napep are informants, according to Wike. The security is profiling all of the beneficiaries present. According to our proposal, starting in January of next year, no one will be allowed to drive a bus or cab without permission from security, after which they will profile you and not wear the Abuja color. Promotion“There’s nothing like driving a car. No, that will not be permitted. We will not permit that as of January. “In order to give everyone the assurance that this is the vehicle I’m entering in the event of an emergency, we will take the vehicle number, the drivers’ names, and the rest.” We Love To Have You Back.
