FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says Senator Ireti Kingibe will not return as FCT senator, citing lack of accountability and poor delivery of public service.
The Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has reiterated that Ireti Kingibe will not return as the senator representing the FCT. Speaking to journalists in Abuja, Wike criticised Kingibe for what he described as a lack of accountability and delivery of public service during her tenure in office.
“Senator Ireti Kingibe won’t come back as senator of the FCT, and I still stand by it,” he said. He also addressed claims by Kingibe that she had tried to reach him but was declined, adding: “I don’t even know her number. I’m not the man who pretends. I don’t pretend, and I know I don’t pretend. I told you, mark it today. Today is what? Second of March. Look, you know my report card will show. Your report card should also show. What did you do as a senator when you were?”
Wike’s remarks highlight ongoing political tensions in the FCT as he firmly rejected the possibility of Kingibe’s return to the Senate. His comments underscore the minister’s position on accountability and performance as central criteria for political leadership in the territory.
