Senator Ireti Kingibe, the Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the Senate, has described the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, as a man with an emperor mentality.
Kingibe also added that Wike is not sensitive to the plight of the people of the nation’s capital, Abuja.
Speaking during a recent interview with Channels TV, Kingibe said the FCT minister has not made the lives of the people better. She accused Wike of owing salaries and not carrying her along in the drafting of the budget for the city.
“In the last few months, I gave it some thought and said at the end of the day, all I want is my people to benefit. If being less antagonistic to the minister would help bring development to the people, then fine.
“So, I decided that despite the things that I don’t like that he is doing, I will minimise my public criticisms of him, but it’s not made any difference because he has an emperor mentality” Kingibe said
The lawmaker and Wike have been caught in a long-drawn brawl since they assumed their respective offices in June and August 2023. While the former belongs to the opposition Labour Party (LP), the latter is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but works with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
