The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has insisted that upholding the outcome of the South -South Zonal Congress of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is one of the pre-conditions which will guarantee peace within the party.
Wike, who stated this on Monday while fielding questions during his monthly media parley in Abuja, maintained that this is the final condition that will make peace return to the Peoples Democratic Party.
According to the Minister, the Court allowed for the Congress to hold, and so, “there’s nothing any person could do about it.”
He said: “Our South-South zonal congress that was held must be upheld. There’s no doubt, no two ways about it.
“Now, when we were doing our South-South Congress, the Acting National Chairman claimed that the PDP Governors were not in support of the National Congress.
“Where are the PDP Governors now? Our Congress was held in Calabar and there’s nothing anybody can tell us.
“If they want another round of passes, so be it. Our congress held and Chief Daniel Orbi emerged as the National Vice Chairman of the Congress. And the Court allowed for the Congress to hold.”
On ongoing development at the FCT, the Minister stated that it is impossible to turn around the sector in the nation’s capital in two years.
Asked why development is skewed in favour of infrastructure instead of the education and health sectors, he announced that the Federal Capital Territory Administration has commenced work in the health sector.
He noted that the FCTA has kicked off work at the abandoned Utako Hospital and is carrying out rehabilitation at Gwarimpa Hospital.
“Take for instance the abandoned Utako Hospital, Gwagwalada Hospital, Gwarimpa, the doctors’ quarters, and the mess. Like I said, this is just two years in office; it is not possible to turn around every sector,” he stated.
