The Reformed Arewa Youth Coalition (RAYC) has urged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to ensure his services match the principle of federal character.

The President of the group, Comrade Attahiru Musa, made the call at a press conference, on Tuesday.

He said that Arewa also expressed concern that Wike’s appointments were beginning to show lopsidedness, and urging him to remain true to his cause.

“There is an urgent need for the FCT Minister to retrace his steps at the risk of polarizing the federal capital territory along ethnic and religious lines, which can potentially rupture the fragile peace in the FCT and its environs.

“By all indications, the FCT Minister elected to forget that the FCT is the Centre of Unity, and, as such, the principle of inclusion must stand supreme above every other interest, he said .”
