Wike Declares Himself the Luckiest Politician in Nigeria During Tinubu’s Road Commissioning in Abuja

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Friday, referred to himself as the luckiest politician in Nigeria.

Wike highlighted how he is consistently surrounded by close allies from Abia, Enugu, Sokoto, and Cross River States during major functions held in Abuja.

He made these remarks during the official commissioning of the newly completed Arterial Road N5 (also known as Obafemi Awolowo Way), stretching from Life Camp Junction to Ring Road III (RR3).

The event featured the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, who stood in for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

This road commissioning was among the many initiatives rolled out to commemorate President Tinubu’s two-year anniversary in office.

Wike stated:

“Mr President, allow me to say this; I don’t think any other politician in this country is as fortunate as I am. Each time we organize any event in Abuja, my friends—from your state, Abia, Enugu, Sokoto, Cross River—consistently show up in support.”

He continued:

“With your permission, Mr President, I want to express gratitude to the people of Rivers State and indeed all Nigerians. To those of you present here today, kindly take a bow before Mr President. These individuals deserve recognition and praise.”
