On Thursday, March 28, Wike said that the “Renewed Hope Agenda” is really bringing the needed change.

The minister stated this in Abuja when he inspected some road projects, both at Gabu-Igu in Bwari and Saburi in Abuja Municipal Area Councils respectively, The New Telegraph reported.

Wike noted that President Tinubu came prepared to renew the dying hopes of Nigerians, and has demonstrated capacity and commitment to making the needed impact, Vanguard report added.

According to him, the current government is not just impacting the lives in the cities, but at rural areas.

The minister assured that the roads and other ongoing projects would be completed as scheduled and also pledged to start new ones, as soon as the recently passed FCTA’s 2024 budget is assented to by the president.

Wike vs Fubara feud

Meanwhile, Nyesom Wike, the former Rivers governor, has been at loggerheads with his preferred successor over the control of Rivers state.

Wike in February 2024, even bragged that he and members of his camp would be undefeatable in the 2027 election because of the alliance between the PDP and APC in the state.

Atiku’s men, others dump Wike, back Tinubu and Fubara

Wike made this assertion after strong men in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) including a former national chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, declared full support for Tinubu.

In addition, the minister seems to be losing ground in Rivers as Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state is now getting more support from the PDP bigwigs.
