Following the deteriorating security situation in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, the Senate has revealed plans to summon the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

The Senator representing the FCT, Ireti Kingibe, made this known while speaking on the security crisis rocking the capital city during a Channels TV program on Sunday.

She said that when the Senate resumes plenary, the Minister would be summoned to explain his plan to tackle the security crisis.

Senator Kingibe, elected under the Labour Party, LP, platform, lamented the recent surge in kidnapping, killing and other activities by the dreaded bandits in the nation’s capital.

“It is not that I am hoping. I know he will be summoned. But whether he responds or not is a different matter entirely. But as the chief security officer of the FCT, he should have a plan.

“He should be able to tell us, the committee, and specifically me, that this is the plan for protecting the people of the FCT. Between him, the police commissioner, and the head of the DSS, they must have a plan”, the Senator said.

The lawmaker further disclosed that there is a “disconnect” between her and the FCT Minister, accusing the latter of ignoring her messages and letters in the wake of insecurity in the area.

Una go fight Wike tire. All this is because he ed Tinubu . For your information, Wike will Tinubu come 2027.

When Abuja residents are kidnapped, you blame Wike.

When they are rescued, you commend the security agencies.

Some of my guys in PH is saying all these attacks are politically ostracized



I wish it can get to the point of Tinubu sacking Wike




I swear Tinubu will get 90% of Rivers vote without rigging

See how inconsiderate these ppl are. Insecurity is ravaging the whole nation and they haven't summoned the heads of Security agencies or the President and then it got to Abuja and they are suddenly running heater skelter summoning the Minister. Why haven't they summoned the President or his Security Chiefs?

Eteka1:
Wike is Minister of the FCT not Minister of Defence. However, he is doing something about the security problem in collaboration with the security agencies in the FCT. I'm sure he will gladly brief the Senate on the steps being taken.

Why does the FCT have one senator whereas other states have three senators?

Having one senator means so much pressure on the representative to work wonders

christejames:
Wike the tyrant...

He will arrest you 😂🤣

And that solves all the crisis?

It's high time!

una wan quick sell WIKE to alalu (CONDEMNED IRON SELLER) business ppl.. e no possible.
cos e fall for una tribe ppl u come VOLUME UP the kidnapping voume #gbesoke asaaapu #Djchicken volume[b][/b]

I respect and like Wike, however, here are a few things wey fit happen to minister wey non know he work!

The public can pressure him to resign voluntarily or be removed from office by the head of state or relevant governing body due to public outcry, or a lack of confidence from within the government. A vote of no confidence can be initiated by the legislature, leading to the removal of the minister from office. If there are allegations of wrongdoing or incompetence, an investigation may be launched to assess the minister's performance. If any illegal activities or serious breaches are found, legal actions may be taken. If citizens express dissatisfaction with the minister's performance, etc

G

Wahala

Abuja should be protected at all costs, enemies of Nigeria wants every other region dead
If u know u know

I miss obasanjo government

Please do

Hammefeez:


He will arrest you 😂🤣

Oya na 😂 😂 😂

Ireti Kingibe is on the way to making Wike more powerful.

Who is responsible for the security in Abuja where the president resides? Lol. Some people are using her to tackle Wike.

Below was my response to a dude some minutes ago on this matter:

Wike's enemy will only make him closer to the president and more powerful with this strategy. The president will be at peace that Wike is taking the bullets for him, and Wike will gradually start attending meetings with chief security of the nation. Soon, the chief of staff, naval staff, army staff, police, etc will start taking orders from Wike. Mark my words.

Wike is so arrogant that he has refused to recognise elected officials (Senator and House of Reps ) who were elected under Labour Party.

This is not how to ister a country's capital city, it shows that Wike is simply more concerned with how to replace them with PDP or APC than governance because I have been seeing him with the immediate past FCT Senator Philip Aduda in all his events as if they are on a campaign trail instead of going with Senator Ireti Kingibe, same way he runs down the Governor of Rivers State Fubara by calling him a Small Rat 🐀 in public

Wike should focus on governance, too much politicking is not doing FCT and Rivers State any good.

Righthussle:
Una go fit Wike tire. All this is because he ed Tinubu . For your information, Wike will Tinubu come 2027.

Oga, campaign don end, wait till next election, we are focused on governance now, commend Wike when he does good and try to call him out when he goes astray.
Moreover the Senate summoning him is led by APC and most of them wears Tinubu's cap insignia

Ok

Wike is not the problem

The problem is the North.

They say one Nigeria when it does not favour them & destabilise you on the way.

Well both Wike & Tinubu know how to fight, this is not GEJ or Osinbajo.

Who did they summon when over 200 people were killed in plateau by the herdsmen

anything you guys have in your arsenal to keep that guy busy is welcomed by us here in PH. This Every weekend running from ABJ to PH to come and be disturbing and distracting a sitting governor no make sense. Abeg make who na tie am down there. His wahala is too much.

Wike doesn't owe this woman any specific explanation. What an entitled idiot. She should go and summon IG and DSS. When I checked, the police and DSS are not under the control or directive of the minister of FCT.

Labour party brought some idiots into the politics of the nation.

Those behind it are speaking up

Okay.

There is no single sensible person in that LP. Not even the Agulu failure
