Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, has condemned the chairman of Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Christopher Maikalangu’s remark that he could not provide security vehicles for police.<\/p>\n
It was during the presentation of the operational vehicles that he expressed his anger towards the remark that was made about him.<\/p>\n
Maikalangu has stated that Wike could not provide security vehicles for police due to lack of resources.<\/p>\n
Wike said, \u201cI find it very disturbing that a chairman of a council will appear in public and say he has no capacity to give vehicles to security agencies.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAnd then you answer the chief security of your local government. As chairman, every time you go and collect revenue where is the money going?<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt is very embarrassing to hear you say you cannot build a police station. Security is for all of us. You have a role to play as the chairman of the council.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was chairman of council I built police stations, I bought vehicles for them, I provided water for them. Security is the key. So, if you have no capacity, then what are you doing as council chairman?<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThank God, you have told us you have no capacity, we will see what will happen in the next election. You are the one who said so, not me. And Luckily this is a live coverage.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, has condemned the chairman of Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Christopher Maikalangu’s remark that he could not provide security vehicles for police.
