The President, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu has asked Chief Nyesom Wike, the Minister of Federal Capital Territory not to give him free land should he ask for one.
The president, however, tasked Wike to develop and deliver the Abuja metroline for the residents of Abuja.
Tinubu made this intention known in Abuja on Sunday while declaring open the annual conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
Tinubu jokingly called Wike the ‘landlord of Abuja’.
The president charged Wike :’I want to ride on your metroline. If I ask for free land, do not give me.
But deliver the metroline for the good of the greatest number of Nigerians.’
It would be recalled that during an inspection tour of Abuja last week, Wike promised that the Abuja rail mass transit would be completed in eight months time.
Wike was not happy at the state of the rail system, promising to address the transportation challenges in the Federal Capital Territory.
