Criticism over judges quarters project does not bother me – Wike
The Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says he is not bothered by those criticising him for building houses for judges and justices in the FCT.
Wike stated this when he inspected the ongoing construction of Judges Quarters and access road to the quarters from Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway by N16, at Katampe District, Abuja on Friday.
The minister also inspected the construction of the extension of Obafemi Awolowo Way (N5), from Life Camp Junction to Ring Road III,
DAILY POST recalls that the minister had, on October 21, inaugurated the construction of the 40 housing units for judicial officers of the Court of Appeal, Federal High Court and FCT High Court.
He, however, came under criticism, as some Nigerians said the move was a scheme to influence the judiciary.
Reacting to the criticisms, Wike said he was not bothered
“Who are those criticising? I don’t think of that; I am not bothered.
“Once you have a provisional approval to go ahead and the backing of the National Assembly, what’s my business with those who are criticising?
