“Tinubu’s achievements in FCT are unprecedented, and in the next two and four years, you’ll see what is going to happen in this country.

“Yesterday, I said the simple truth; all of us who are critics have said before that Abuja was not working, but have now confessed that Abuja is now working.

“Who has made it to work? It is Mr President," he said.

The FCT minister vowed to focus his attention on the job assigned to him by the President, which is to transform Abuja into a befitting capital city.

He described the level of infrastructural development in the FCT as unimaginable, noting that the president had insisted that Nigeria deserves the best.
