Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said all projects initiated under President Bola Tinubu’s administration in Abuja will be completed before the expiration of the administration’s tenure.

Wike stated this during a media chat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, while defending the performance of the Tinubu administration in the FCT.

The minister claimed that no previous administration in the history of the FCT had achieved as much in Abuja as the current government.

“Before this tenure expires, every project started under Bola Tinubu would have been completed,” Wike said.

He also challenged critics to compare the achievements of the Tinubu administration in Abuja with those of previous governments.

“In the history of the FCT, no government has done what we have done in Abuja. I challenge anyone to come out,” he said.

Wike also criticised the recently held Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference, describing it as a “flop” and accusing the association’s leadership of focusing more on politics than issues affecting the legal profession.

“Instead of concentrating on issues affecting the NBA, they started playing politics,” he said.

The minister further questioned the legacy of the current NBA president, saying he had previously explained why he did not support her emergence.

Wike particularly criticised the decision to invite a former governor whom he accused of shutting down the courts for almost two years.

“I will tell the NBA president: what would you say will be your legacy? As the Minister of the FCT, what would I say I have done?” he asked.

“I told the current NBA president why I did not support her. She went to invite a former governor of the state who chained and locked up the court for almost two years.

“When you see this kind of thing, you begin to wonder, what kind of NBA is this?” Wike added.
