President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has revealed that he once contemplated dismissing Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, from his cabinet. The president made the disclosure during a recent public engagement, shedding light on a moment of tension between the two political figures.
Speaking at the event, Tinubu recounted a situation where he found Wike’s actions challenging but ultimately chose to retain him due to the minister’s commitment to delivering on his responsibilities. While he did not specify the exact circumstances that led to the consideration of Wike’s removal, his remarks underscored the high expectations he holds for members of his administration.
Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, was appointed FCT minister in August 2023 and has since spearheaded various urban development projects in Abuja. His tenure has been marked by decisive policy moves, including a crackdown on illegal structures and efforts to revamp the city’s infrastructure.
The president’s statement highlights the demanding nature of governance and his willingness to hold officials accountable while recognizing performance. As Tinubu continues his administration’s agenda, his acknowledgment of internal deliberations over cabinet positions reinforces the dynamic and high-stakes nature of political leadership in Nigeria.
