Wike gave the warning on Thursday in Abuja while handing over 12 newly procured ambulances to public hospitals in the FCT.
His remarks followed recent actions by leaders of the FCT workers’ unions under JUAC, amid lingering disagreements over labour issues currently under judicial consideration.
He described open defiance of court rulings as dangerous to democratic order, warning that such actions undermine the rule of law.
Wike warned that legal consequences could follow if the FCT Administration decides to pursue contempt proceedings against those allegedly obstructing access to government facilities or openly rejecting court directives.
According to the minister, the FCT Administration has acted within the confines of the law in addressing the dispute.
