Wike Blasts PDP, Denies Suppressing Land Revocation Claims: ‘This Mentality Is Unacceptable
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has denied allegations that he revoked the land title of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Secretariat as an attempt to suppress the opposition.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
He accused the party of neglecting to pay ₦7.6 million in ground rent for its land in the Central Area, despite being in power for years and generating billions from the sale of forms. Wike made these statements while hosting officials of the Body of Benchers, led by Chairman Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), in Abuja on Friday. Wike explained that political, religious, and ethnic sentiments often cloud executive actions in the country. He clarified that the revocation of land titles from allottees who have failed to pay mandatory ground rent for over 10 years is often misunderstood as a political move. He also revealed that the Wadata Plaza, which houses the PDP National Secretariat, was not registered as a party property but under a senator residing in Abuja. The registered owner had failed to pay ground rent for 28 years, yet the PDP continued to claim that the revocation was politically motivated. Wike questioned, “Maybe they had a deal with the man and didn’t complete the deed of assignment, and now they’re accusing me of targeting their secretariat. What kind of mentality is that?” He emphasized that the land revocation was not an isolated case involving the PDP, citing similar actions against other institutions such as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), as well as private individuals. Wike further disclosed that the CBN had requested the reversal of the land title revocation, but he insisted that the bank must pay the outstanding ground rent before any reversal would be considered. He also warned the Body of Benchers to ensure they pay their ground rent, making it clear that no defaulting land allottee would be exempt from the same treatment.
