The Arewa Youth Assembly has called on the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, to ignore the continuous efforts of “saboteurs” to distract him from restoring the original master plan of the FCT.

This was contained in a press release signed by the Speaker of the Assembly, Mohammed Salihu Danlami.

The call came amidst the recent outbursts that followed the demolition of some structures in Asokoro district of Abuja by the minister.

The speaker explained that Wike is not targeting any particular individual or ethnic group as alleged by some, but working on restoring Abuja’s master plan.

The statement read in part: “Everything he has done since his appointment is to transform Abuja, make it safe, investment friendly, healthy and habitable for all Nigerians irrespective of their religion or ethnic background.

“To pronounce otherwise, is a deliberate, orchestrated and well rehearsed devilish script from those disgruntled individuals who are enemies of the gigantic reforms and well meaning projects brought on board by the Honourable Minister.

“They have tried to distract him and sabotage these projects using several attempts that have all failed and their desperation have led them to hiding behind ethnicity to cause chaos and distracting the Honourable Minister who is tirelessly working to fulfill Mr President’s renewed hope agenda.

“We will not relent, but caution with a strong voice against unguarded speeches, those in the act of spreading it should be careful and desist form doing so or face the wrath of the law as their comments are capable of propagating violence and lawlessness in the society.

“Any individual who feels unhappy about the ongoing infrastructural revolution by the Minister should turn to the relevant authority and let the rule of law prevail.

“While we call on the Honourable Minister, Barrister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike to ignore all the distractions in whatever forms they might appear and continue to develop Abuja, we urge all Nigerians irrespective of their tribe or religion to stand united behind the Minister and support him in actualizing the dream of transforming Abuja to a model city in the world.”
