I’m A Golden Minister – Wike Boasts

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Thursday, referred to himself as a “golden minister.”

Wike said he was a governor when Rivers clocked 50 years and now he is a minister when the FCT will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year February.

The Minister disclosed this during the flagging off ceremony of the construction of Collector Road CN2 (Emmanuel I. Ogala Street) from Arterial N16 (Yemi Osinbajo way) to N20 (Wole Soyinka way) including road ILS 5 within Katampe District.

He noted that such a feat is an indication that God loves him, adding that nobody should be envious.

Wike said: “So please do all you can when Abuja would attain the golden age of 50 years, it’s done.

“Some of us have been very lucky. We are golden governors and now golden ministers, it’s not everybody that will be that lucky.

“Some of you were governors when your state was not up to 50 years, some were council chairmen when it did get up to that age but we became a governor when our state attained that golden jubilee and now we are minister when FCT will attain that golden jubilee. So you ask yourself, are we not so loved by God?

“Well you may sit on my seat but that does not mean you are loved specially like you are loved by God.”

Igbos In Nigeria Cannot Get Away With A Lot Of Things – Omoyele Sowore

Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore has lamented the plight of the Igbos in Nigeria.
According to him, the Igbos have suffered great marginalisation in the country.
Sowore, during an appearance on Arise TV on Thursday night condemned what he described as double standards in the treatment of citizens from different ethnic backgrounds, particularly targeting the Igbos of the South-East.
He argued that most Nigerians often get away with things that Igbo people would be held accountable for.
He said, “If you are a Nigerian, you can get away with a lot of things, but if you are Igbo in Nigeria, you cannot.
 
“It was in this country that a Yoruba Nation movement was done, they even went and attacked a radio station in 2024. Did you hear of any arrest? Did you hear of any trial?”
The activist clarified that he was not calling for the persecution of any group, but insisted that justice must be applied equally.
“I am not saying that should be the case, but we must tell ourselves the truth,” he continued. “It just doesn’t look good that things are marginalised in every sector, including the justice sector.”
Sowore made the remarks while discussing the continued detention of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
He argued that Kanu’s ordeal reflects deeper issues of inequality and selective justice in Nigeria’s political system.
The former presidential candidate intensified his calls for Kanu’s release, accusing some South-East political leaders of sabotaging efforts to secure his freedom for fear of losing political influence in the region.
