Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr Nyesom Wike, on Sunday in Abuja, said neither sentiment nor emotion will stand in his way of doing the right thing.
The Minister stated this in reaction to a trending video of staff of Abuja Urban Mass Transport Company (AUMTCO) lamenting over the sack of the company’s Managing Director.
Osun Defender reports that the MD and Chief Executive Officer of the company, Mr Najeeb Abdulsalam, was among the 21 heads of parastatals, agencies, and companies of the FCT Administration that were sacked by the minister on Wednesday.
The former governor of Rivers explained that he would do the right thing for the interest of residents of the FCT and Nigerians at large.
He said, “That is why when I watch people on video, crying that somebody has been removed and that he has been doing well, but the question is if you have been doing well, where are the buses?
“No sentiment, no emotions will be considered when we are doing what is right. We will do the right thing for the interest of the people. If you like, carry 20 people, put video and cry as much as you want to cry, it will not bother us. What bothers us is the reality on ground.”
