Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike as a land grabber.
Adeyanju said Wike is too small to stop landowners who lost their properties from reclaiming them.
Posting on X, the activist said if Northerners who were FCT Ministers could not successfully grab people’s lands, Wike would not be an exception.
He wrote: “All the land the land grabber is stealing in Abuja will be collected back. Even Northerners who were FCT Ministers couldn’t steal Abuja land, is it now villager of Obio/Akpor wearing fake designers and looking like a clown that will steal Abuja land? Wike is too small.”
Lately, Wike has been accused of revoking land allocations within the FCT and reallocating them to his cronies.
The Minister, through the FCTA, has been demolishing what it deems illegal structures in estates and shanties in Abuja because these structures pose security risks, and some of the lands belong to the government.
Amid the backlash that followed the series of demolitions, Wike had vowed never to succumb to blackmailers.
Wike said even if heaven falls, he won’t allow land grabbers to blackmail him and the current government in Abuja.
Speaking in Abuja, the Minister said: “Let me use this opportunity to tell Nigerians that we are not afraid of blackmail, infact; you can’t be in this kind of position and not be blackmailed particularly as regards Abuja.
“There are so many land grabbers, some of us have come to put our foot down and let heaven fall, it’s even better that heaven comes down now so that we will not be fasting to go to heaven.”
