Akpabio Playfully Tells Wike He Learnt From Him During FCT Projects Event

The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, on Friday, described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike as a performing minister who learnt from him.

Akpabio recalled the visit of Wike to Akwa Ibom State when he was governor and the observation of the good works he was doing and the vow of Wike to be a performer in any office he occupies.

This was disclosed by the President of the Senate during the commissioning of the access roads to the Renewed Hope cities and estates in Karsana West District of the FCT to mark President Bola Tinubu’s third year in office.

Akpabio, who was representing Tinubu at the commissioning, said Wike’s DNA is now work.

Akpabio said, “The performing governor of Rivers State that learnt from me, the minister came to my state once when I was a governor and then he was a minister, he entered the under drainage system, he came out with handkerchief in his hand, saying what is this?

He said if I had the opportunity to be in Rivers State, I would perform miracles, so God gave you the opportunity and you performed excellently well.

“In fact I got so worried at one time that I came to you and begged you to become governor and not to exceed what I did, so take it easy. If Jesus Christ did all the work for God there is no need for the Pope. So another governor comes, do not do this just because you saw me working so hard.

“But now it has become your DNA, wherever you go you show your hand and God will bless you.”
