FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has declared that the just-concluded Area Council elections have exposed the true ruling party and the real opposition in Nigeria.
In a fiery broadcast after Saturday’s polls, Wike showered praises on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as the peaceful and credible conduct of the election in the nation’s capital.
According to him, the outcome has silenced critics and proved that residents of the FCT cannot be deceived by what he called “emergency democrats” who stage roadside photo-ops just to win sympathy.
“The people have spoken clearly. Nigerians now know the ruling party and the real opposition,” the minister said.
Wike maintained that the calm atmosphere during the exercise showed that democracy is gaining ground under Tinubu’s leadership, adding that the Renewed Hope Agenda is already boosting confidence among residents.
He hailed the Independent National Electoral Commission for delivering a free and fair contest, while also applauding security agencies for keeping the peace.
Congratulating winners of the polls, particularly the APC and PDP, Wike urged them to justify the mandate given to them by working tirelessly for the people.
He assured FCT residents that his administration would continue to roll out development projects, especially in satellite towns, insisting that the capital city will remain a model of growth and progress under Tinubu’s watch.
