Nyesom Wike, Chinda Were Teenagers When My Husband As Engineer Built Abuja 42 Years Ago — Octogenarian Wife Of Late Col Ogbebor, Mrs Rita Lori Ogbebor

The wife of the late Colonel Paul Ogbebor, Mrs Rita Lori Ogbebor, has stated that her late husband was among those who built the Nigerian capital city, Abuja.

She said it would therefore be inappropriate for the present government of Bola Tinubu to forcefully take over their lands which they had been in possession for over four decades.

On Wednesday, SaharaReporters reported how residents of Life Camp area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, cried out in response to the FCT Minister, Nyseom Wike's revocation of their land interests.

In multiple videos uploaded on X (formerly Twitter), the FCT officials were seen storming the community with a bulldozer to demolish the houses but they were resisted by the residents.

The residents claimed that there was a subsisting court order stopping the FCT administration from demolishing their houses and declaring the revocation of their interests as illegal.

Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, a social media influencer, said in one of the videos that the revoked land belonged to a late prominent military soldier whose family members are currently occupying it.

He said the FCT minister revoked the land and reallocated it back to his cronies.

Commenting on these developments at a press conference on Friday, Mrs Ogbebor said she would rather die than appeal to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the land dispute case between Paullosa Nigeria Limited, an estate management company owned by her late husband, and the authorities of the Federal Capital Territory.

Ogbebor said that it would be belittling to reach out to the president or make any form of appeal to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

Ogbebor, however, stated that her husband was one of those who built Abuja, adding that persons who were close to the President should know her and take the matter to the President.

“I am not saying the President should know me, but the people, the leaders, who surround and advise the President should know people like us, who oil the wheel of progress in this country. And when there is a problem like this, they should intervene, and if it is above them, they should take it to the president.

“My husband was one of those who built Abuja; they gave him a piece of land to work as an engineer. He brought people from all over the world to work with him. Now, after 42 years, they want to demolish it and give it to Chinda? Who is Chinda?

“If you take Chinda’s age today and the period we have been here, Chinda was only 14 years old. And so is Wike. Is that not belittling of me at the age of 84, to go and meet the president, ‘Mr. President, someone in my country is demolishing my house? No. I would rather die,” she said.

Racoon:
Nyesom Wike now thinks he is the unreinable emperor of Abuja but he is not. Just over gloating senselessly on the transient ephemeral nature of political power.

This Wike is biting more than he can chew. He has forgotten that power is transient. He won’t be there forever.

I see Wike and Tinubu working tirelessly to anger the young Nigeria military to end this democracy. A small shit can spoil the latrine. This I have seen, this charade is going to be short-lived.

In 1982, the likes of Umaru Dikko and Adisa Akinloye were on this same charade rude. The rest in now HISTORY!

Eteka1:
So because he was 14 years old that time, he shouldn't do his job?

Makamatic:
Why should she beg the presidency and wike for her own lands ? See as them they make am crime to own real estate in nigeria . LSWTYRHTS

helinues:
And who cares?

So the government should not develop Nigeria because of some people who got a land without proper documentations

Cheap blackmailing that can't work

Tranquill:
Exactly what the FCT Authorities are saying. They gave your husband a temporary site to mobilize his equipments to execute his contracts. It was never his land. You applied to make it a permanent property and approval was given with some conditions which you decided not to honour.

Anyone who knows this madam would know that she would have been in court by now if she has proper documentation to prove they own the land instead of the tv and verydarkdirty social media man and Femi Fani-Kayode’s errand boy called Deji Adeyanju.

She and her family have made free no stress money from Abuja since 80s ranging from choice plots from Maitama to Asokoro ,Zone 4. She's been avoiding and evading government through the backdoor. She even owns hotels and Bars in highbrow areas of Abuja.

I will advise that she takes steps to ensure that these other properties are properly documented so that she won’t be acting the part 2 of this soap opera.
