Wike Denies Purchasing N300m Bulletproof SUV on First Day in Office

Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike has dismissed as tissues of lies, a social media report that he acquired a N300 Million Armoured Lexus LX600, just a day after he was sworn in by President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking after a tour of the Abuja Light Rail, Wike challenged journalists to inspect his vehicle and confirm whether it was the bulletproof variant or otherwise.

He challenged journalists to confirm if the vehicle was indeed bulletproof.

Wike who toured the light rail from the metro station to the Abuja airport told the contractors, Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company CCECC to reduce their one-year timeline for the completion of the vandalized portion of the project to at most eight months.

Noting that he is in a hurry to deliver, the minister said Abuja residents must begin to feel the presence of the government immediately.

He also queried why the perimeter fence of the metro station was not completed, noting that FCT officials and the contractors should not complain of vandalism when the basic security requirement had not been put in place.
