In a move that has left many Nigerians intrigued, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike recently made a statement that has sparked curiosity and raised eyebrows across the political landscape. While inaugurating a five-kilometre dualised road in Kuje, Wike dropped a bombshell: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is not about party politics.” But what does this really mean? Is this a new era of governance, or is there more beneath the surface? Let’s dive into the mystery.
The Kuje Road Inauguration: A Symbol of Hope or a Political Masterstroke?
The newly inaugurated Kuje township road, stretching from Tipper Garage Junction to the LEA Secretariat, is more than just a pathway—it’s a statement. Wike, known for his no-nonsense approach, described the project as a testament to President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. But here’s the twist: Wike insists this agenda isn’t about partisan politics. Instead, it’s about transforming lives and delivering tangible results to Nigerians.
Party is a vehicle that conveys you. When you get to where you are heading to, you come down,” Wike declared, leaving many to wonder: Is this a subtle shift in political strategy, or is it a clever play to win over the masses? The mystery deepens.

A Covenant with the People: What’s the Real Deal?
Wike’s speech took an even more intriguing turn when he spoke about a “covenant” between President Tinubu and the people of Abuja. According to Wike, the people fulfilled their part by voting for Tinubu, and now it’s the President’s turn to deliver on his promises. “You have fulfilled your own part. The covenant Mr. President has entered with you was that you should vote for him. Having voted for him, Mr. President is now coming to fulfil parts of his own agreement,” he said.
But here’s the question: Is this covenant genuine, or is it a carefully crafted narrative to solidify support? The residents of Kuje seem convinced, as their joy was palpable during the inauguration. Yet, one can’t help but wonder—what’s the bigger picture?
The N50 Billion Water Project: A Game-Changer or a Mirage?
dding another layer to the mystery, Wike revealed that President Tinubu’s administration has approved a staggering N50 billion for providing potable water to Abuja’s satellite towns, including Kuje. While this sounds like a game-changer, it raises questions: Why now? What’s the timeline for implementation? And how will this impact the lives of residents who have long relied on privately-dug boreholes?
The minister’s assurance that “small, small, you will catch a monkey” suggests that progress is incremental. But in a country where promises often outpace delivery, can Nigerians afford to wait?
The Essence of Governance: Making People Happy or Winning Hearts?
Wike’s statement that “the essence of governance is to make people happy” is both profound and puzzling. While the people of Kuje expressed their happiness during the road inauguration, one can’t ignore the timing of these projects. Are they genuine efforts to improve lives, or are they strategic moves to bolster political capital?
The minister’s excitement over the residents’ joy is telling. “Since you are happy, then we are happy. When you are not happy, we cannot be happy,” he said. But is this happiness sustainable, or is it a fleeting moment of political theatre?
The Bigger Question: Is Tinubu’s Government Truly Beyond Party Lines?
Wike’s assertion that Tinubu’s administration is “not about the party” but about “changing the lives of Nigerians” is a bold claim. In a country where party affiliations often dictate governance, this statement is both refreshing and suspicious. Is this a new dawn for Nigerian politics, or is it a clever rebranding of old tactics?
The mystery lies in the execution. Will Tinubu’s government truly transcend party politics, or is this a temporary narrative to win public trust? Only time will tell.
Conclusion: A Story of Hope, Mystery, and Unanswered Questions
As the dust settles on the Kuje road inauguration, one thing is clear: Nyesom Wike has sparked a conversation that goes beyond infrastructure. His statements have opened a Pandora’s box of questions about the true nature of Tinubu’s administration. Is it a government for the people, or is it a masterclass in political strategy?
For now, the mystery remains unsolved. But one thing is certain—Nigerians will be watching closely, waiting to see if the Renewed Hope Agenda is a promise kept or just another political enigma.
