The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday described himself as a golden minister.
Wike said he was a governor when Rivers clocked 50 years and now he is a minister when the FCT will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year February.
The Minister disclosed this during the flagging off ceremony of the construction of Collector Road CN2 (Emmanuel I. Ogala Street) from Arterial N16 (Yemi Osinbajo way) to N20 (Wole Soyinka way) including road ILS 5 within Katampe District.
He noted that such a feat is an indication that God loves him, adding that nobody should be envious.
Wike said: “So please do all you can when Abuja would attain the golden age of 50 years, it’s done.
“Some of us have been very lucky. We are golden governors and now golden ministers, it’s not everybody that will be that lucky.
“Some of you were governors when your state was not up to 50 years, some were council chairmen when it did get up to that age but we became a governor when our state attained that golden jubilee and now we are minister when FCT will attain that golden jubilee. So you ask yourself, are we not so loved by God?
“Well you may sit on my seat but that does not mean you are loved specially like you are loved by God.”
