Federal Capital Territory, FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has declared that he is deaf and blind to his detractors.
Wike said he is focused on his assigned task of developing the FCT.
He spoke on Friday at the flag off of the design, construction, and furnishing of the office annex of the Body of Benchers of Nigeria in Abuja.
He said as a politician he can neither hear nor see what his detractors are saying or doing.
According to Wike: “The good thing about us, you know, as a politician, you must have thick skin. I have thick skin.
“I don’t even hear what people say. I don’t even see those who are saying it, and I can’t reply.
“Three signals a politician must always have.
“One, he can’t see. Two, he can’t talk. Three, he can’t hear.
“So, whatever they are saying, you don’t even hear. Those who are saying it, you don’t even see.
“And because I can’t talk, I cannot reply. I will go ahead and continue to do my work for the best of the country. That is all I can do.”
