He'll still contest, lose in 2031 -Wike mocks Atiku
Nyesom Wike took a swipe at Atiku Abubakar on Thursday in Abuja, describing him as a serial contestant and loser who, according to him, would still run for office in 2031. Wike said, "Atiku is a serial failure. He is a serial contestant and loser, and I am sure that in 2031, he will still contest."
Wike challenged Atiku to compare the state of the Federal Capital Territory during his time in office with the current situation. He assured residents that major road projects across the FCT would be delivered on schedule. The Airport-Kuje road project is nearing completion, and part of the bridge would be opened for use next week. The first phase of the dualisation of the Kuje-Gwagwalada road, covering about seven kilometres, would also be completed before the end of May. Wike dismissed allegations by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) that the FCT Administration attempted to frustrate its planned convention by targeting a venue.
Wike assured that political activities would not slow down development in the FCT. He added that most of the ongoing projects would be completed before January.
