Wike Issues Warning: Council Chairmen Who Skip Security Meetings Risk Being Declared Security Threats

• FCT Minister Nyesom Wike criticizes council chairmen neglecting security meetings, warns non-compliance will be deemed a security threat
• Wike emphasizes commitment to supporting security operatives, while AMAC chairman thanks him for developmental projects during his tenure

The Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has strongly criticized council chairmen who have neglected monthly security meetings. Speaking at a town hall meeting in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Wike declared that any chairman failing to host the security meeting would be labelled a security threat.

Expressing his dissatisfaction, Wike questioned the rationale behind abandoning security meetings due to a lack of stipends. He sternly emphasized, “How will you say you are not holding a monthly security meeting because you don’t have a stipend? Henceforth, any chairman who fails to hold such a meeting will be seen as a threat to security.”

Assuring unwavering support for security operatives, Wike reiterated the Administration’s commitment to doing everything possible to bolster security.

In response, AMAC chairman Christopher Maikalagiu expressed gratitude to Wike for the developmental projects implemented during his tenure.

Hon. Edison Ebie, have complied with this proclamation.
