Famous Nigerian rapper, Odumodublvck has said he wished Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, was a musician.
The hip-hop star claimed that the minister’s vocals are unique, stressing that he would excel in the music industry.

On his X handle, Odumodublvck wrote, “I wish say Wike dey do music. I hear something in his vocals. I’m not joking.”

Wike made buzz with his live band while serving as the Governor of Rivers State from 2015 to 2023.

After his appointment as minister of FCT, he relocated his band to Abuja.

Last month, he publicly promised to increase the wages of his music band while commissioning the collector road from Mabushi to the Judges’ Quarters in Katampe.

Wike’s band is known for viral hits such as ‘As E Dey Sweet Us’, ‘Agreement Is Agreement’, and ‘Biggie Man’, among others.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has disclosed that N700 million was realized from the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, within three weeks of operation.

Wike lamented that the former operator of the facility was paying the Federal government N50 million yearly but his administration has realized N700 million in three weeks.

He spoke during the official thanksgiving service at St. James’ Anglican Church in Asokoro, Abuja to mark the successful completion of projects commissioning by Tinubu.

Tinubu had used 19 days to commission projects by Wike to mark his second year in office.

However, Wike said: “The man who was running the ICC is from Adamawa and he was paying 50 million Naira to government every year, these are the people who want to rescue Nigeria.

“These are people who want to rescue Nigeria. When we went there, the President said, ‘Look, this is an eyesore,’ that this is not a quality, this is not a Nigeria we should prevent.

“And we shut the place down. And within six to seven months, we have rehabilitated the international control centre.

“But in just three weeks we have made over N700 million.”

A chieftain of New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo has declared that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, failed in its 2023 campaign promises.

Oguntoyinbo made this claims in a statement on Sunday, charging Nigerians not to vote for APC or any of the political party or politician who failed to fulfill electoral promises in the 2023 election.

Oguntoyinbo asked the electorate to review the various political parties’ promises and what they have done in the last two years before they make their choice of who to vote in the 2027 general elections.

The NNPP chieftain said during the 2023 general election campaigns, APC and various candidates promised the electorates a good life.

He, however, noted that what is happening in the country shows that the APC and its candidates have made life unbearable for the people that voted them into power.

Oguntoyinbo maintained that the removal of subsidy without provision of alternative palliatives and relief materials made petroleum products’ beyond the reach of an average Nigerians.

The NNPP chieftain added that the multiplier effects of the rise in the price of petrol had negative effects on the naira.

He said, “The ruling APC at the centre, raised the hope of Nigerians through its Renewed Hope Agenda but people are living hopeless lives because of the downturn of the economy.

“The party said the poor would be allowed to breathe but in the last two years, it has painfully suffocated the poor. They can no longer breathe. An average Nigerian is living a hopeless life. Worker’s wages cannot sustain a simple living.

“The removal of subsidy without provision of alternative palliatives and relieve materials have made the petroleum products’ prices beyond the reach of an average Nigerian. The multiplier effects of the rise in petroleum products’ prices have made the value of the Naira go down”.
