The Vicar of St. James Anglican Church, Asokoro, Abuja, Ben Idume, has lauded President Bola Tinubu as a visionary leader for appointing former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike as a minister, citing his belief in Wike’s capacity to perform.
Idume made these remarks during a thanksgiving service celebrating the completion of projects undertaken by the Federal Capital Territory Administration, led by Minister Wike.
“I will not fail to thank President Tinubu who appointed this man to be minister because. The President, himself, is a visionary president. He can see vision somehow. That was why he saw that this man (Wike) can do something,” Idume stated.

He further emphasized Tinubu’s foresight, saying, “Tinubu can see vision, whether he closes his eyes or opens them. So, the President is a visionary president, so we thank him for making us happy in the FCT.”
The vicar noted that despite initial opposition, Wike, as an FCT minister from Southern Nigeria, has proven his critics wrong.
Idume recalled, “When he became a minister, some people said over their dead bodies, he would not be a minister. ‘How can a Christian be a minister? Have you ever heard it once? How can a southerner be a minister? Have you ever heard it? It can never be done.’”
Expressing optimism, Idume believes Wike will achieve even more before his tenure ends, drawing parallels to his eight-year performance as governor of Rivers State.
“This church is thankful to God that a Christian minister, a southern minister, has come to rewrite the history of the Federal Capital Territory,” he added.
Wike attended the service accompanied by senior government officials and politicians.
