Isaac Fayose, the brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has commended the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government for what he described as significant infrastructural improvements in the Federal Capital Territory, particularly in water supply and sewage system development.
Speaking in a video posted recently on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Fayose highlighted ongoing federal efforts to enhance public utilities, praising Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for his role in driving the upgrades.
“Wow, Minister Wike is performing again,” Fayose said in the video. “Bwari people have been waiting for water for years, and now Minister Wike is delivering.”
Fayose specifically referenced the federal government’s current project to lay a 198-kilometre water pipeline to the Bwari area, aimed at improving water accessibility for residents.
“He is laying a 198-kilometre pipeline to the Bwari area. You can see major projects taking shape. Let’s be honest, the APC government has changed Abuja,” he added.
The outspoken political commentator, known for his candid takes on national issues, continued his praise by acknowledging the visible progress made in Abuja’s infrastructure.
“They’ve put a smile on so many people’s faces in Abuja, let’s not lie. We can point out when they mess up, but in Abuja, APC might win because of the way they are working,” he said.
Fayose also made note of the improvements in the capital’s sanitation systems.
“Apart from the cho-cho-cho of the minister, the guy is performing. With a 198-kilometre water line, people will now get water when they open their taps. Our sewage system is also being overhauled. Abuja is beginning to look like a foreign city,” he remarked.
In a somewhat humorous aside, he drew a comparison with Lagos, suggesting the coastal nature of Nigeria’s commercial capital poses challenges for water infrastructure development.
“You can’t get this kind of water in Lagos because of the ocean, but come on, give it to Wike. Well done,” he concluded.
Fayose’s remarks come amid continued debates around infrastructural equity between Abuja and other regions of the country, with many observers keenly watching how public perceptions may shape political outcomes in future elections.
