President Bola Tinubu has stated that the ruling All Progressives Congress will welcome the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, if he decides to join the party.

Tinubu gave the invitation on Wednesday for the inauguration of Arterial Road N16 to Arterial Road N20 and other roads in the Katampe District.

The President, who noted that the Minister was currently not a member of the APC, commended the FCT Administration for collaborating to deliver the project.

“We have somebody in Nyesom Wike. He’s not a member of our party, not yet. But the day he changes his mind and registers with the progressives, we will welcome him. Because we will join him in singing ‘as e dey pain them, e dey sweet us’,” the President said. Tinubu said the project affirmed his administration’s commitment to transformation, adding that his government was guided by a philosophy of reform and regeneration.
