FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has reacted to reports of him ordering permanent secretaries to bow before President, Bola Tinubu.
Speaking, during Thursday’s commissioning of the seventh FCT project as part of activities marking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s one year in office, Wike said the act was to thank the president for his kind gesture.
He said,”Two days ago, when the President came, we tried to thank him for what he did in making sure that those who had already lost hope in their career progression got to the peak of their career.
“Before now, FCTA did not have permanent secretaries. But with Mr. President’s way of Renewed Hope, he said they must get to the peak of their career by getting to the position of permanent secretary and Head of the Civil Service, if possible. Mr President granted that and then I called out the permanent secretaries who are the beneficiaries to come out and take a bow and thank Mr President.
“It is an honour to be called out to take a bow but some human beings can never see anything good. Instead, they are criticising, saying, ‘How will you call people who are Permanent Secretaries and ask them to take a bow?”
