GOVERNOR Ahmadu Fintiri says the appointment of ex-Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister is well-deserved.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governor, in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, said Wike worked hard to reach his new point.
Fintiri said Wike set precedence as the first opposition politician to make the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Congratulations on your Senate screening and appointment as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja,” the post partly read.
“Your Excellency, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, you have set precedence and demonstrated exemplary leadership traits by delivering service and good governance according to the people’s need during your tenure as Governor of Rivers State which I believe earned you this position.
“I trust that you will continue to work for improved growth and development of the FCT just like you did in Rivers State as Governor.
“My brother and friend once more congratulations on your appointment. I know you have worked hard to reach this point, and I’m so happy that you have been recognized for your accomplishment with this new assignment. It is well-deserved.”
