Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr Nyesom Wike, on Friday declared that President Bola Tinubu’s extensive infrastructure delivery in Abuja has effectively neutralised political critics, insisting that visible performance remains the strongest response to opposition.
Speaking during the commissioning of the reconstructed Arab/Gbazango Road in Kubwa, Bwari Area Council, Wike said the scale of projects executed under the Tinubu administration had transformed governance in the FCT and provided residents with tangible evidence of government performance.
“If there are opponents of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, with what you have done in their lifetime, they cannot do anything again. If they go to the people of Gbazango, the people will ask them, ‘When you were there, what did you do?’ This is what we call ‘operation show your report card.’ If you call Tinubu today, he will show you his report card on the satellite towns and on the city. Abuja is shut down. Abuja is closed,” Wike declared.
The minister made the remarks as the FCT Administration concluded its 31-day project commissioning programme, which began on June 9 and ended on July 17, 2026.
Describing the exercise as unprecedented in Nigeria’s history, Wike said no President had ever commissioned and flagged off projects continuously for such a long period.
“Everything that has a beginning has an end. today we are taking a break to refill and energise ourselves before returning before the end of the year. We thank God that from June 9 till today, everything went smoothly. There was no accident, no incident that we would regret,
