FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is not bothered by people expressing emotions over the sack of 21 heads of parastatals, agencies, and companies in the FCT administration.
Wike vowed that no sentiments or emotions would stop him from doing what he considered the right action in the FCT.
The minister spoke in Abuja, in response to a viral video of the staff of Abuja Urban Mass Transport Company (AUMTCO), crying over the sack of the company’s Managing Director, Mr. Najeeb Abdussalam.

Abdussalam was among the 21 heads of parastatals, agencies, and companies that the minister sacked last Wednesday.
Speaking with journalists after inspecting some road projects in the FCT, Wike stressed that he would always act in the interest of the people.
“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 in the interest of the people.
“If you like, carry 20 people, put a video and cry as much as you want to cry, it will not bother us. What bothered us is the reality on the ground”.

The minister advised political appointees to always prepare to leave office at any time because someone might come and want to have a total change.
“You are not a civil servant where you will say nobody is supposed to retire me because I am not up to the age of retirement.
“Even as a minister, I can be relieved of my position now. You don’t need to cry; some other people will come and all we pray for is, let us get the best,” Wike said.
