Some human beings can never see anything good – Wike hits back at Nigerians who slammed him for asking Permanent secretaries to bow before President Tinubu

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has responded to criticism for instructing permanent secretaries to bow before President Bola Tinubu at the commissioning of the Aerial Road N20 Expressway.

Some Nigerians condemned the directive, viewing it as disrespectful to the permanent secretaries. In response, the Minister explained that the gesture was meant to show appreciation to the President, who approved the appointments of these permanent secretaries, reviving their stalled career progressions.

“Two days ago, when the President came, we tried to thank him for what he did in making sure that those who had already lost hope in their career progression got to the peak of their career.  Before now, FCTA did not have permanent secretaries. But with Mr. Presidents renewed hope, he said they must get to the peak of their careers by getting to the position of permanent secretary and head of the civil service, if possible.

“Mr. President granted that, and then I called out the permanent secretaries who are the beneficiaries to come out and take a bow and thank Mr. President.It is an honour to be called out to take a bow, but some human beings can never see anything good.

“Instead, they are criticising, saying, How will you call people who are permanent secretaries and ask them to take a bow?   In my place, when someone does not have anything good to say about you, they will say, look at him. Instead of you to commend Mr. President for doing well, for giving hope to those that didnt have hope before.Watch a video of him asking the Permanent Secretaries to bow before the President
