Speaking to the gathered crowd, the President said, “We have somebody in Nyesom Wike. He is not a member of my party, not yet, but the day he changes his mind and registers with the progressives, we will welcome you.”
This statement highlights a potential shift in the political landscape, suggesting that President Tinubu is open to welcoming influential figures like the FCT minister Nyesom Wike into his party, All Progressive Congress.
However, the event, marked by the official opening of key infrastructural projects, also served as a platform for the President to signal inclusiveness and political unity ahead of future electoral contests.
The Maitama-Gishiri Bridge and the connecting roads are expected to significantly improve transportation and connectivity in the Federal Capital Territory, enhancing economic activities and easing daily commutes for residents.
