FCT: Why I can’t work with Senator Kingibe – Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has declared he will not collaborate with Senator Ireti Kingibe due to her unfavorable actions. According to Wike, Kingibe may not secure re-election in 2027 as she has not accomplished anything. He addressed this stance at a press conference in Abuja, criticizing the senator's recent complaints about flooding in parts of the FCT.

Wike stated: "If Senator Ireti Kingibe knows that there's a problem, she's the one who makes the law. The National Assembly is our own House of Assembly." He questioned why she continually demands collaboration when he is not obliged to work with just one individual. Wike emphasized his willingness to work with everyone. He expressed no sympathy for her current predicament, attributing it to her failure to secure re-election.

Wike reiterated he wouldn't work with her because she established a "bad foundation" and has contributed nothing. He suggested that if she wishes, she can appear frequently on television, but it won't alter the people's opinion of her.
