Fintiri Reacts As President Tinubu Swears In Wike As Minister

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa state, has congratulated Nyesom Wike on his inauguration as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu swore in Wike and 44 others as ministers at a ceremony held at the banquet hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday.

Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers State, was appointed as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In a post on the X platform on Monday, Fintiri said Wike’s appointment is “well deserved”, noting that his service to the people of Rivers while he was the governor, earned him his current position.

The Adamawa Governor said Wike has set precedence and demonstrated exemplary leadership traits by delivering service and good governance to Rivers people while he was in office.

He expressed confidence that his former colleague will continue to work for improved growth and development of the FCT just like you did in Rivers State.

He wrote: “Congratulations on your Senate screening and appointment as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja.

“Your Excellency, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike you have set precedence and demonstrated exemplary leadership traits by delivering service and good governance according to the people’s need during your tenure as Governor of Rivers State which I believe earned you this position.

“I trust that you will continue to work for improved growth and development of the FCT just like you did in Rivers State as Governor.

“I am confident that your influence will continue to encourage our proud tradition of hard work and dedication to country as well as involvement in worthwhile political causes.

“My brother and friend once more congratulations on your appointment.

“I know you have worked hard to reach this point, and I am so happy that you have been recognized for your accomplishment with this new assignment.

“It is well-deserved.”
