Send Wike To Rehab Now! – Dele Momodu Reacts Fiercely To Minister’s Confrontation With Soldier

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and veteran journalist, Dele Momodu, has taken a swipe at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, following his recent confrontation with a military officer during an enforcement operation in Abuja.

In a viral video circulating online, Wike was seen engaging in a heated exchange with a soldier who allegedly barred him from accessing a disputed plot of land linked to former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo (rtd). The minister, visibly furious, accused the developers of encroaching on government land without proper approval.

The footage, which has since stirred nationwide debate, drew sharp criticism from Momodu, who faulted Wike’s temperament and accused him of arrogance and greed.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Momodu alleged that Wike’s behavior stemmed from poor anger management and excessive alcohol consumption, describing the minister’s actions as “symptomatic of a Messianic complex.”

He wrote:

“He who the gods want to destroy, they first make mad. I’ve warned Minister Nyesom Wike repeatedly about his lack of anger management. Too much alcohol is not good for him physically, mentally, and spiritually. It fuels his delusion of grandeur. Wike has wreaked enough havoc in Abuja with his lust for land grabbing and primitive accumulation of wealth. He deserves the President’s pity, prayers, and urgent therapy in a rehab. What a tragic hero.”

Momodu’s remarks add to growing public criticism of Wike’s combative style and his ongoing disputes over land ownership and urban enforcement in the FCT.
