Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike, has hailed President Bola Tinubu as one who believes in the rule of law.
Wike made this remark on Thursday, at the flag-off of the construction of Arterial Road N1, linking Wuye District to Ring Road II in Abuja.
The minister said this while referring to human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, who has been sued by the Department of States Services (DSS) for calling Tinubu a “criminal” while in Brazil after claiming that his government has ended corruption in Nigeria.
The former Rivers State governor said Sowore and other critics of the president might not be lucky in the future.
“This is a country where somebody on social media will say Mr President is a criminal; nothing will happen. You are lucky you have a President that believes in the rule of law. Continue to be lucky. There are those you will meet that you won’t be lucky again,” the minister said.
Weighing in on the grievances of resident doctors who recently threatened protests over unpaid allowances and inadequate attention to health infrastructure, the former Rivers State governor reiterated that demonstrations are part of democracy but warned against blackmailing government.
