Senate To Query FCT Minister, Wike Over Security Treat In Abuja

Senator Ireti Kingibe has said that the Senate will summon the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nyesom Wike to appear before the FCT committee to tell the members his plans to secure the people of the FCT from the insecurity that has been ravaging the nation’s capital.

VerseNews reports that the senator Kingibe who disclosed this while featuring on a Channels TV programme, regretted that she earlier raised the alarm about insecurity in the FCT but it was ignored. 

She said ‘‘There is a big disconnect between the Minister of the FCT (Wike) and the elected officials, I’ve never met the minister except when he came for appropriation. I have WhatsApp messages, I have written him one or two letters and I don’t get any response.”

“I know that the minister will be summoned whether he responds or not it is a different matter. As the chief security officer of the FCT, he should have a plan.
