Some Abuja-based civil society groups, have warned those they described as mischief makers to allow the Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike to settle down to work, rather than seeking to sow seeds of discord between him and Permanent Secretary in the Administration, Mr. Olusade Adesola, by twisting facts and figures.
Two groups, Pro-Impact Initiative and Vanguard for Justice and Equity gave the warning at separate news conferences Sunday in Abuja.
Vanguard reports that some online reports had alleged that the permanent secretary embarked on massive capital projects against presidential directive, recruited over 10,000 staff into the system, allocated choice lands to members of his family among several other malicious and unfounded allegations when he held sway briefly before Wike’s assumption of office.
