I don’t even know how much they get – Wike backs local govt autonomy

Mr Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT on Monday, threw his weight behind President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to actualise local government autonomy.

The minister disclosed this on Monday when he inaugurated the upgrading of War College/Army Checkpoint Road and other ancillary roads in Ushafa, Bwari Area Council, Abuja.

Wike, who said he had no apology backing the move for local government autonomy, urged residents of local government areas to hold their council leaders accountable.

He lauded the good working relationship himself and the Minister of State, FCT, Dr Mariya Mahmoud have with the chairmen of the six area councils of the territory.

According to him, since they were appointed as ministers, “we have worked together, they have collaborated with us.

“I stand to challenge anybody, since we came as ministers, I don’t even know how much they get. I have never bothered to ask, and I am not interested to know.

“I have my own allocation; they have their own allocation and that is why I supported Mr. President, and I have no apology to anybody”, he said.
