Ireti Kingibe speaks of rift between her and Wike

There is no disagreement between Ireti Kingibe, the Senator from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the National Assembly’s Red Chamber, and Nyesom Wike, the minister of the FCT.
Kingibe also underlined the need for a thorough analysis of the FCT’s vague separation of powers.

“It’s important to recognize that the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, operates differently from other regions; here, the highest elected official is the Senator, as opposed to a governor.

“Moreover, we only have two representatives in the House of Representatives. The division of powers between the executive and the legislature in the FCT is ambiguous and warrants careful examination.

“Historically, despite the structural issues, previous ministers have acknowledged the legislators as the people’s representatives and collaborated with them to address the populace’s needs, thereby mitigating these systemic flaws.

“It is imperative for every minister to recognize that the National Assembly and its members have a supervisory role over their actions. This oversight appears to be the crux of the current contention.,” she stated.

Nonetheless, she reaffirmed her dedication to collaborating with all stakeholders to meet the needs of the people, giving security, food, water, hospitals, and schools top priority.

“As a senator, there are numerous initiatives I am eager to pursue, provided our budget allows it. I aim to prioritize, especially the smaller, yet significant, aspects of governance,” she added.
