He tried as FCT minister – Wike speaks on comparison with El-Rufai

 The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom
Wike has downplayed comparisons of his performance as minister with that of
former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai.

 

Wike said he won’t like his performance to be compared with
that of El-Rufai.

 

El-Rufai was FCT minister during the administration of
former President Olusegun Obasanjo and has been adjudged as one of the best to
ever serve in that position.

 

Since assuming office under Tinubu, Wike had embarked on the
completion of several abandoned projects across capital city and satellite
towns.

 

Wike is also opening up new roads and building bridges
across the FCT.

 

Speaking with BBC Pidgin on Saturday, Wike said El-Rufai was
highly rated for his works as FCT Minister.

 

He said; “I’m not working to be compared with anybody
(El-Rufai). For me, when Tinubu informed me that there is work to be done and I
saw that he was sincere and he gave me the support needed, then I realized that
he wants me to change Abuja.

 

“People are the ones judging because they are the ones that
see, I have never stayed in Abuja before.

 

“When El-Rufai was the Minister, I was the Chairman of
council and I didn’t come to Abuja, so it will be difficult for me to talk
about comparison.

 

“All I know is that people said El-Rufai tried, I don’t work
to compare.”
