The House of Representatives has refuted allegations that Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, took out loans without the approval of the National Assembly. Deputy Spokesperson Philip Agbese made this clarification on Thursday, stating there was no evidence to support the claim. This came as Senator Ireti Kingibe alleged that the FCT Administration had amassed debts without obtaining the necessary legislative approvals.
Kingibe had mentioned raising the issue with Senate leadership after reviewing information from the Debt Management Office (DMO) from August 2023 to March 2026. Responding to the accusations, Agbese vehemently denied that Wike had borrowed money without the National Assembly's consent. He affirmed, "Wike has committed no infraction in borrowings.
There is no basis for the allegation that he has been borrowing money behind the back of the National Assembly."
