The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to work hand-in-hand with the six newly elected Area Council chairmen, stressing that political differences will not obstruct development in the capital.
The minister made the promise on Wednesday in Abuja when the council leaders visited his office to collect their certificates of return ahead of their June swearing-in.
Wike described the cooperation he expects between his administration and the incoming council officials as a “rainbow coalition”.
“Congratulations to all the newly elected chairmen. You have earned this opportunity through hard work, and we are grateful for the chance to serve alongside you,” Wike told the leaders.
