An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Dr. Dennis Osahon Aikoriogie, has urged residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to support the “Operation Sweep Abuja Clean” initiative by Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, Nyesom Wike.
He described the initiative as timely and strategic, adding that it will address the growing challenges of street begging, scavenging, illegal street trading, and the menace of “one-chance” criminal activities within the capital city.
He said the operation goes beyond aesthetics and reflects purposeful leadership, aimed at restoring order, enhancing public safety, and upholding the rule of law in Abuja.
“This initiative is not just a beautification effort—it is a bold security intervention to protect lives and restore the dignity of the capital city,” he said.
He urged residents, traditional leaders, civil society organisations, and political stakeholders to give the initiative their full support.
Aikoriogie urged citizens to report suspicious activities and cooperate with the Joint Task Force coordinating the operation, which comprises security agencies and relevant government departments.
“Wike has once again demonstrated strong political will and a commitment to positive transformation. This courageous move deserves more than praise—it deserves total support from all lovers of peace and progress,” he added.
