The Arewa Youth for Peaceful Coexistence has criticized Senator Ireti Kingibe, who represents the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for her comments on FCT Minister Nyesom Wike’s infrastructure projects in Abuja.
In a statement by its national chairman, Hon. Haruna Bature, the group noted that Wike inherited significant challenges, including poor infrastructure, security issues, healthcare problems, traffic congestion, and inadequate public sector worker welfare in Abuja.
According to Bature, Wike has made substantial improvements in just one year.
The group advised Senator Kingibe to focus on her duties as the FCT’s representative in the National Assembly. They also urged the Minister to disregard narrow and biased criticism and to continue advancing the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
The group said, “The attention of the Arewa Youth for Peaceful Coexistence has been drawn to a media interview on Arise TV granted by Sen. Ireti Kingibe condemning and casting negative aspersions on the infrastructural development efforts in the FCT by the Honourable Minister of the FCT, Chief Barr. E.N. Wike, CON, GSSRS.
“We wish to remind Sen. Ireti Kingibe of the decadence in the state of affairs in infrastructure, security, health care, human and vehicular traffic, sanitation and healthcare, welfare of Public Sector Workers, etc upon assumption of office of the Hon. Minister of FCT, Chief Barr. E.N.Wike, CON, GSSRS.
“The story today is different except in the opinion of Sen. Ireti Kingibe because these challenges in the FCT either have been addressed or are being addressed by the Administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu through the Office of the Hon. Minister of the FCT, Chief Barr. Ezebuwon Nyesom Wike of which Sen. Ireti Kingibe is a major beneficiary as the Senator representing the FCT, Abuja.
“Development is a gradual process and we trust that the Economic Reforms, Fiscal and Monetary Policies, and Human Capital and Welfare Programmes of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda will soon put hope and smiles on the faces of Nigerians and especially Residents of the FCT.
“The Arewa Youths for Peaceful Coexistence therefore wishes to urge, the Hon. Minister of FCT, Chief Barr. E.N. Wike did not pay any attention to the narrow and skewed criticism of Sen. Ireti Kingibe but rather focused and continued with the good works of implementing and promoting the Programmes of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“By and large, Arewa youth for peaceful Co-Existence are saying goodbye to an incompetent senator representing FCT comes 2027 because her performance profile is nothing to write home about, thank you all.”
