In an interview with the Sun on Sunday, February 22, 2026, the National Coordinator of the Take Back Nigeria Initiative (TBNI), Abumchukwu Okoye, has credited FCT Minister Nyesom Wike with strong performance in his ministerial role, citing feedback from Abuja residents who reportedly view him as the most effective minister the capital territory has had.
