President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended heartfelt congratulations to Chief Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former Governor of Rivers State, on the occasion of his birthday on December 13. In a statement released by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu thanked God for Wike’s life, describing it as one defined by purpose, service, and courage.
The President hailed Chief Wike as an audacious and results-driven leader, noting his ability to overcome obstacles and deliver tangible outcomes. President Tinubu specifically highlighted Wike’s recent interventions in the FCT, including breaking a 14-year deadlock in the construction of the Apo-Karshi road—a project long awaited by residents. The President emphasized that such achievements exemplify Wike’s resilience, “can-do” attitude, and commitment to excellence across all assignments.
According to the statement, President Tinubu commended the Minister for his consistent dedication to transforming the Federal Capital Territory through extensive infrastructure development. He noted that Wike’s efforts have accelerated the ongoing transformation of the FCT, reinforcing his reputation as a top performer capable of driving significant progress beyond his home state of Rivers.
The President also recognized Wike’s contributions to the national agenda, describing him as “one of the shining stars in the cabinet” and a champion of the Renewed Hope Agenda, despite belonging to a different political party. He praised Wike’s ability to navigate political differences while remaining committed to public service, stating that his performance in the FCT demonstrates that his moniker “Mr Project” extends far beyond his gubernatorial achievements in Rivers State.
In his birthday message, President Tinubu expressed gratitude for Wike’s leadership and unwavering dedication, wishing him continued strength, good health, and the ability to further advance development in the Federal Capital Territory. “I commend him for being one of the champions of our Renewed Hope Agenda, even though he belongs to another party, and wish him well as he marks another year in his life journey,” the statement read.
Political observers have noted that the congratulatory message underscores a spirit of cross-party recognition and collaboration, emphasizing results-oriented governance over partisan differences. Supporters of both leaders have applauded the gesture as a demonstration of civility and mutual respect, signaling a commitment to prioritizing national development.
As Chief Wike celebrates another year, citizens of the FCT and Nigerians at large have joined in wishing him continued success in his ministerial duties and personal endeavors, recognizing his significant contributions to the growth and modernization of the nation’s capital.
