Alhaji Musa Saidu, an Arewa leader in the south, has voiced his support for the appointment of Chief Nyesom Wike as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), emphasizing that it is inappropriate for anyone to oppose Wike’s appointment because he is not a Muslim.
Saidu pointed out that since Abuja is a federal capital territory, it should be open to individuals of any religious affiliation to serve as its Minister.
He deemed it a misnomer to bring religion into the discussion of who should become the Minister of the FCT.

He also urged religious leaders to exercise caution when intertwining religion with political matters, as such actions could potentially disrupt the peace and harmony within the society
Saidu commended Governor Bassey Otu of Cross Rivers State for donating ten million naira to Hausa, Fulani victims of the fire at the Bogobori area of the state recently, saying such promotes national unity and peaceful coexistence.
“The Minister, Wike did not insult Islam. If he does it is even Christians that will take on him first, that I know. We want peace. Some of our northern leaders should be careful of how they try to lace their personal views with religion.”
