Traditional Rulers Are Playing Politics; They Can’t Do That With Me -wike by Giftimoni(op): 6:43am On Mar 13, 2025

The FCT minister condemned the alleged politicisation of traditional institutions, warning against interference with government projects.

“The traditional rulers are playing some politics; you can’t do that with me. We respect traditional institutions, but you can’t sabotage our work,” he asserted.

Addressing concerns about relocation of the affected persons, the Minister argued that building new houses is only justified when an entire community is displaced, not when a project affects a limited number of homes.

“If we are relocating a community, then we can go and build houses for them, not just 20 or 50 houses for a road corridor. Sometimes, it doesn’t take all the houses, maybe just some part of it. Where does that happen anywhere in the world?” he questioned.

He said that despite the discussions, certain structures remain, affecting the project’s progress.

“I have visited this site more than four times and have engaged with community leaders and their chiefs. It is crucial for them to cooperate with the government so that CGC, our contractor, can complete this road by May,” Wike said.

However, while speaking on the media chat, Barr Wike criticised attempts to sabotage the project, asserting his responsibility to ensure its execution.

“If we are coming to a community and say the whole community should evacuate, then you can say we should compensate, not when it’s just 20 houses. Now, we are doing that, and you are trying to sabotage us. I have a job to do, and my job is to execute that project,” he added.

Tinubu drug lord - president
Shetimma - boko Haram beneficiary - vice president
Akpabio - chronic womanizer - senate president

Wike - Agbero - Minister



The whole world should pray for Nigerians.

20 to 50 houses (families) is a community. What is Wike up to? Sending 50 families packing to unknown destinations isn't fair. The traditional rulers are right, this calls for resettlement to maintain the ancestral and family cohesion.

Does this supersede national interest?

Nyezom Project Wike will never displace a single person without providing alternative. However, the alternative place provided may not be near, but the money he will give will definitely be worth it.

You all loved him when he was Rivers governor, and he fought all those who fought Goatluck Jonathan, but you hate him now because he is working for Tinubu. Even Goatluck Jonathan whom Wike fought for when most deserted Goatluck, the useless goat and his illiterate wife joined and supported Sim Fubara against Wike, but God shamed you all. We don’t give a fucck about you hypocrites
