Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has fired back at the Senator representing the FCT at the National Assembly, Ireti Kingibe.
Wike faulted Kingibe’s criticism regarding his directive on election-eve movement restrictions.
The former Rivers State governor also shifted focus to the final results of the FCT Area Council election as the ultimate proof of political influence in the FCT.
Wike said this on Saturday in Abuja while replying to comments credited to Senator Kingibe criticising the presidential directive imposing a curfew on Abuja from 8 p.m. on Friday, the eve of the election.
The minister said his earlier directives on movement, which had become a point of contention, were not a personal imposition but based on the approval of President Bola Tinubu.
He said he was disappointed that his statements were not carefully reviewed before being challenged.
“I don’t want to join issues. At the end of the election, when the results come out, then we will know who is who,” he said.
