The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi, has said that the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, and the National Assembly has a legal framework to audit and oversee public expenditure by Nyesom Wike.
Wike is the current Minister of the FCT.
Amadi said the FCT Minister is not an emperor, stressing that he should be subject to due process review for public expenditure.
In a post on his X handle on Monday, the former Executive Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC,
wrote: “I hope the FCT and NASS has a legal framework to audit and oversee Wike’s public expenditure in Abuja.
“He is not an emperor. He is a public official and should be subject to due process review for public expenditure as well.”
Wike had threatened to unseat the Senator representing the FCT, Ireti Kingibe for criticising him.
Speaking at the flag-off of the Mabushi Bus Terminal in Abuja, the Minister said that he overheard somebody, a lawmaker in the National Assembly castigating the successes being recorded in FCT.
