The Niger Delta Youth Coalition for Peace and Progress (NDYCPP) have urged President Bola Tinubu to ignore detractors commenting negatively on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
In a statement issued after their meeting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Sunday, the group assured the president that Wike would remain his dependable ally, no matter the situation.
“Wike is a very detribalised person; he is someone, who goes for competence and just like Mr. President, he always meticulously engages people, who have the capacity to deliver on given assignments, no matter where they are from.
“Wike’s avid commitment in spreading the dividends of the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President can be attested to, even by his die-hard critics.
“The speed with which he is carrying out projects and programmes in the FCT that is touching the lives of the people positively is clear, even for the blind to see. He is a proven political ally of Mr. President and a shining light in his cabinet.
“He is bringing out components of the Abuja master plan that were hitherto unknown to the public and as well implementing them accordingly. He is very courageous and astute in building political bridges across party lines effectively. He is a known voice in our national democratic discourse.
He has helped to influence the appointment and employment of a lot of qualified Niger Delta sons and daughters into very sensitive positions of responsibility; irrespective of tribe, creed and political cleavages.
“We commend Wike for how he is relating with the leadership of the National Assembly and other top key government functionaries at the National level. We want to caution all those bad-belly people, who are antagonistic to Wike’s emergence as the Minister of the FCT, especially our brothers from the North, to shelve their needless attacks but rather support him to succeed in building a beautiful FCT.

“We appreciate your good work especially the way you’re transforming the FCT, and as an ambassador from the region, who is making us proud, we will continue to support your course,” the statement read
