ABUJA:Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, has taken a swipe at former Senate President David Mark over his infrastructure record in office, arguing that the President Bola Tinubu administration had achieved more in road construction within three years than was accomplished during Mark’s years at the helm of national leadership.
Wike made the remarks on Thursday at the commissioning of the Interchange at Arterial Road N16–Ring Road II Junction linking the Jahi and Gwarimpa districts in Abuja, where President Tinubu was represented by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The minister’s remarks were triggered by recent criticisms from the African Democratic Congress ADC, which he said had nonetheless conceded the administration’s achievements in road infrastructure.
“African Democratic Congress has conceded that in terms of road infrastructure, Mr. President has done very, very well. Without roads, you cannot go to hospital, you cannot go to school, and you cannot go to farm. Roads are the bedrock of development in any society”, he said.
