Top Politician Descends On Wike Over Threat To FCT Senator, Reveals Secrets About His Works

Chief Peter Ameh, former Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) and Publicity Secretary of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), has criticized the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for his recent remarks about the 2027 election.

During the flag-off of a project in the FCT, Wike declared that FCT Senator Ireti Kingibe would not return to the National Assembly in 2027. Ameh responded by reminding the former Governor that the political dynamics in Abuja are different from those in Rivers State, where Wike previously had his way.

“I watched an episode where they were commissioning a car park in Mabushi. I saw Wike flagging off a car park. In which world do people flag off car parks?” Ameh questioned in a video. He criticized Wike for using the occasion to belittle a sitting Senator and for making statements that undermined her character.

Ameh also accused Wike of self-promotion and questioned the quality of his roadworks. “Government is not about self-promotion. Wike boasts about doing roadworks, but many of these roads are already in poor condition. Some roads in areas like Nyanya, Karu, Karishi, Kubwa, and Gwagwalada are still not done. Even the ones he completed have issues,” Ameh stated.

He further alleged that Wike had collected about 1.2 trillion naira without accountability and an additional 98 billion naira for ongoing projects. He highlighted the incomplete Apo-Karshi Road as an example of Wike’s unfinished work.

Ameh criticized Wike for attacking an elected Senator while boasting about her non-return in 2027. He emphasized that the FCT is a cosmopolitan and metropolitan center where people vote based on performance, not intimidation.

Ameh also urged other Senators and leaders from the Labour Party to unite and speak out against Wike’s actions. “They need to hold a press conference and tell him that he cannot control the country and misuse public resources. He cannot stand on a stage and insult the electorate with disrespectful language. This is not acceptable in a democracy,” he added.

Ameh concluded by comparing governance in Nigeria to other countries, suggesting that ministers in places like South Africa or Egypt do not behave in such a manner.
