No minister is above scrutiny, Kingibe replies Wike

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has been challenged by Senator Ireti Kingibe, representing the Federal Capital Territory, to provide evidence of Senate approval for loans obtained by the FCT Administration. Kingibe made this statement in response to Wike's dismissal of her allegation that the FCT Administration obtained loans without the required approval of the National Assembly.

She emphasized that her role as a senator is to question, demand accountability, and defend constitutional principles, stating, "No Minister, no matter how powerful, is above the law. No public office holder is above scrutiny." Kingibe also rejected Wike's assertion that she would not return to the Senate in 2027, asserting that the decision belongs to the voters in the FCT.
