The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has requested Nigerians to refrain from mounting congratulatory billboards in honour of his ministerial appointment across the country.
The Minister’s request was conveyed by his press director, Anthony Ogunleye via a statement on Sunday.
“The attention of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has been drawn to lamp post billboards, full-scale billboards, and other adverts congratulating him on his appointment as minister,” the statement read.
“While the minister deeply appreciates the warm wishes and support of the citizens, he kindly, but strongly requests that such billboards and advertisements be discontinued forthwith.
“The minister acknowledges the overwhelming goodwill from the residents of the FCT and beyond, and understands the sentiment behind these congratulatory displays and is genuinely touched by the show of support.
“However, in the spirit of public service and commitment to his responsibilities, the minister wishes to focus his full attention on assisting President Bola Tinubu in realising his vision and ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda for Nigeria.”
Ogunleye added: “Wike sincerely hopes that the public will understand his perspective and continue to extend their support and cooperation.”
“He looks forward to working hand in hand with all stakeholders to build a stronger, more prosperous, and united FCT and Nigeria.”
