The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says he depends on his wife's prayers to sustain President Bola Tinubu's support for the FCT Administration.

Wike stated this on Tuesday, July 14, during the inauguration of the Water Supply Network to Bwari Satellite Town in the Bwari Area Council.

According to him, his experience as a former governor and minister has shown that a minister's performance is largely dependent on presidential backing.

"I've said to so many people, I was a governor, and I was a minister before. You can be a minister... if you don't have that support, it is difficult for you to perform. You must have that support," he said.

The former Rivers State governor added that he tells his wife daily to pray that President Tinubu continues to support the FCT.

"Each day I wake up, I tell my wife — she prays a lot, I don't know how to pray very well. The only best prayer I can pray is, 'God, let me come back safely today.' But she prays very well. I say, 'Continue to pray that Mr President will not look away from us,'" Wike said.
