The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT),
Nyesom Wike, has admitted to making several mistakes during his tenure as
governor, acknowledging that he regrets some of his past decisions.
Wike made this statement during a media chat with
journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, in a video obtained by TVC News
Reflecting on his time as governor, Wike stated that
while in office, leaders often make decisions with limited knowledge, only to
later realize their errors after leaving their positions. He emphasized that
governance comes with difficult choices, and not all decisions made at the time
turn out to be the best.
He further lamented that although he now recognizes
those mistakes, he cannot go back in time to correct them. However, he noted
that the lessons learned from his past experiences are guiding his actions as
the FCT Minister.
In his words; “With all due respect to you, yes, you
can blame me — I take full responsibility. Some of the things you do while in
office, it is only after you leave office that you start regretting them. It is
not everything you know at the time. With what I know now, I realize I made a
lot of mistakes while I was governor.”
“When you make mistakes, it is unfortunate that you
cannot correct them because you cannot go back as governor. However, those
mistakes are helping me as the FCT Minister. I have learned from them, and I
know that such mistakes will never happen again,” he added.
