Are The Criminal Hideouts Really Disappearing In Abuja?

President Bola Tinubu has declared that criminal hideouts are disappearing in Abuja, as social activities gradually return to the capital.

Mr Tinubu spoke during the inauguration of the Collector Road CN2 in Katampe District, Abuja.

The president was represented by Vice-President Kashim Shettima at the ceremony on Friday.

He credited the change to good governance that provided security, mobility, and dignity for residents.

Mr Tinubu praised the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, for fulfilling the mandate to make Abuja a true capital city.

“My fellow residents of Abuja, we did not stop at the road. We installed solar streetlights. Today, Katampe is safer at night. Abuja’s real life is coming back. Criminal hideouts are disappearing,” he said.

The president said the development showed what effective governance could deliver to citizens.

He noted that the road connects the Katampe and Mabushi districts to the major road network.

According to him, the project reflects his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda for national development.

“Indeed, this road is a testament to the Renewed Hope Agenda. Nigeria is working again,” Mr Tinubu stated.

He said the infrastructure would reduce travel difficulties caused by congestion, dust, and poor road conditions.

“A road like CN2 is more than concrete. It is hope,” the president added.

Mr Tinubu said the project demonstrated that the government could deliver meaningful results for Nigerians.

He also praised Mr Wike’s commitment, recalling his achievements before appointing him to transform Abuja.

“Wike, you have not disappointed Nigerians. From abandoned roads to new boulevards,” he said.

The critical question to ask Nigerians especially Abuja residents is that are the criminal hideouts really disappearing? Kidnapping and crime on a very high scale are still part and parcel of the capital city.

Nearby Kwara is under siege with whole towns been sacked by bandits. Citizens have fled for their lives creating ghost towns. Traditional Rulers have not even been spared as palaces have been desecrated by these scums of the earth.

It is no secret that terrorist camps have been set up in Abuja – the so-called seat of power and that the FCT is far from being the fortress that it is being touted to be.

Tinubu should get to work immediately and should resign if he cannot safeguard the lives and properties of Nigerians including of those resident in the FCT.

Enough of the vile propaganda!
