Media adviser to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, has questioned the funding sources and costs of live broadcasts of Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike's media engagements. Ibe has called for the minister to publish invoices, identify the stations paid, the amounts, funding sources, and relevant budget lines.
He argues that the public deserves to know how much is being spent on the broadcasts and how much airtime is devoted to FCT development, rather than political disagreements. Ibe's post comes after Wike's media parley in Abuja, where he discussed his administration's projects and political support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.
