The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has responded to critics who have been questioning his renaming of the International Conference Centre (ICC) after President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during his monthly media parley with journalists in Abuja today Thursday, July 3, Wike asked if the centre should have been renamed after armed robbers.
“That place is booked till 2027. Now you are saying, why did I name it after Bola Tinubu? Who should I name it after? Who is more qualified?
“What is called International Conference Centre? We have IBB International Golf Club. Why didn’t we leave it as the International Golf Club?
“International Conference Centre is not a name tied to anybody. What is sycophancy? Sycophancy that somebody showed leadership, supported me to achieve what was achieved?
Wike noted that it’s not only when someone dies that they should be remembered, but they are alive.
He added that he would not be a part of those who celebrate people when they are dead.
