‘Why wait until you’re called out’ — VeryDarkMan tackles Wike over Abuja flooding
Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, has criticized Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike for the government’s inadequate response to recent flooding in Abuja.
Otse raised concerns about what he described as the government’s reactive approach to addressing drainage issues. He noted that repair work on drainage systems began shortly after he publicly highlighted the flooding problem.
In a social media post, Otse stated, “Yesterday I called out FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over city flooding, and today they are fixing the drainages. Why must you wait until you are called out? Una no dey see the problem?”
His remarks follow an increase in complaints from Abuja residents regarding flooding in various neighborhoods. Many have reported blocked drainage systems and waterlogged roads following heavy rainfall.
Earlier, Otse warned of the potential consequences stemming from inadequate drainage infrastructure and recurring flooding in the FCT. He urged local authorities to implement proactive solutions before the situation deteriorates further.
