Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed mounting calls for his removal, insisting that only President Bola Tinubu, who appointed him, holds the authority to relieve him of his duties.
Wike stated this on Sunday during a thank you visit to Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, where he told supporters that those demanding his sack were wasting their time.
According to the former Rivers State governor, his performance in Abuja speaks for itself, adding that his contribution to national development remains visible to residents and Nigerians across the country.
He said, “People shouldn’t disturb themselves over anyone saying I should be sacked.
That decision does not lie with them. If my appointor feels I have nothing more to give, he has the right to remove me not those shouting outside.”

Wike maintained that Rivers people should take pride in his stewardship at the FCT, asserting that he has not fallen short of expectations.
“I am proud, the people of Obio/Akpor are proud, Rivers people are proud, and we can say boldly that we have not disappointed Nigerians,” he declared.
Reiterating his earlier remarks made in Port Harcourt, Wike added, “When you are not performing, nobody bothers to talk about you.”
