A viral video has surfaced online showing the moment the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike ordered newly promoted permanent secretaries in his ministry to bow before President Bola Tinubu.
The video has been slammed by Nigerians.
In the video, the minister called out the permanent secretaries to show appreciation to the president for allowing the FCT administration to appoint them as the first permanent secretaries in the ministries.
The incident happened at the commissioning of the expanded Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) completed by the FCT administration.
Nyesom Wike will be the first FCT minister to constitute the FCT Civil Service Commission and the first minister to appoint permanent secretaries in Nigeria’s history.
However, some Nigerians condemned the minister’s action.
