Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has vowed that no amount of blackmail by contractors will force him to pay questionable debts, insisting that the recent clamour for payments by local contractors was “corruption fighting back.”
Wike, who spoke at the official inauguration of the rehabilitated Phase II Water Treatment Plant at the Lower Usuma Dam in Ushafa, Bwari Area Council, said he would not bow to pressure from those parading as indigenous contractors who have besieged the FCTA secretariat since yesterday demanding over N5.2 billion in alleged debts.
