During a candid media engagement broadcast on TVC News on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, Nyesom Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and the immediate past Governor of Rivers State, took the opportunity to unequivocally defend his governmental legacy.
Addressing inquiries concerning his tenure as governor, Wike detailed specific, tangible achievements he facilitated prior to vacating office. He emphasized that his administration undertook a comprehensive renovation of the Rivers State Government House, a significant undertaking aimed at modernizing and enhancing the official residence. Furthermore, he confirmed the provision of new official vehicles, specifically stating that these were procured for the governor, the deputy governor, and the governor’s wife, ensuring a smooth transition and immediate operational readiness for his successors.
Wike elaborated on the renovation project, revealing that he personally moved out of the Government House a substantial one and a half years before the conclusion of his term. This strategic relocation was instrumental in allowing for the extensive and uninterrupted refurbishment work to be completed, thereby guaranteeing that the facility would be in an improved and fully functional state for those who would occupy it subsequently.
He reiterated that these actions, encompassing both the infrastructural upgrade of the Government House and the acquisition of essential transportation, were deliberate measures designed to bequeath a well-equipped and operational executive environment to the incoming administration.
