“There is a road where you said is about 2km, is it not? Consider it done. You know, one thing about government and politics, support those who have capacity to bring something to the people. Support those that government will listen to,” Wike said.

He praised Maikalangu as “very good and hardworking,” noting his role in attracting several road projects, including Saburi Road, Kabusa-Takushere Road, and Deidei Road. He pledged his administration’s support for Maikalangu’s re-election bid, stressing:
“The chairman has access to us. Anything he tells us, we will do. I don’t know the party he belongs to. But I know that he supports Tinubu. Anybody who supports Tinubu, I will support him.”
