Nyesom Wike has stopped his supporters on using billboards, full-scale billboards, and similar advertisements congratulating him on his appointment as minister.
Wike is the newly appointed Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The former governor made the call on Sunday in a statement released and signed by the director of press, in his ministry, Mr Anthony Ogunleye.
In the press, Wike expressed gratitude for the warm wishes and support from the public. He, however, called for an end to the placement of such billboards and advertisements.
In his words: ‘‘As the FCT Minister, his foremost duty lies in contributing to the development and growth of the FCT and the well-being of its residents and the nation as a whole.
“The minister holds in high regard, the aspirations and expectations of the FCT residents, and he remains dedicated to fulfilling his role with utmost sincerity and dedication.
“He believes that this can be best achieved by concentrating all efforts on the task at hand and joining hands with fellow public servants to serve the country to the best of their abilities.’’
“Chief Nyesom Wike sincerely hopes that the public will understand his perspective and continue to extend their support and cooperation,” the statement read in part.
According to Ogunleye, Wike looks forward to working hand in hand with all stakeholders to build a stronger, more prosperous, and united FCT and Nigeria.
