The President made the remarks during the official commissioning of the renovated International Conference Centre in Abuja, which was subsequently renamed the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, in June 2025.
President Tinubu addressed Wike’s handling of criticism and challenges in the FCT, stating: “Don’t pay attention to the busy bodies and the bystanders. Whatever they say, continue with your good work. You are a transformational leader, you have the voice, foresight, vision, and determination to succeed.”
The statement was widely seen as a strong endorsement of Wike’s performance, highlighting his “can-do attitude” as FCT Minister amid political tension and scrutiny of his administrative style.
Observers noted that President Tinubu described Wike as an “exceptional performer” and “one of the shining stars in the cabinet,” citing his role in delivering significant infrastructure development in the FCT, particularly the upgraded conference centre.
