Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), says his children have the right to own lands in Nigeria.

Speaking at a media briefing in Abuja on Thursday, Wike defended the rights of his children as Nigerian citizens to own land, provided due process is followed.

“Assuming, though not conceding, my children applied for land. Are they not citizens? Are they Ghanaians? Even if they applied, are they not entitled because I’m minister?,” Wike asked.

He, however, denied allegations that he allocated hectares of land in Maitama and Asokoro to his sons.

He said the accusations originated from Adamawa state, accusing an unnamed individual of orchestrating a smear campaign to undermine his leadership.

“First, calculate land in Maitama and Asokoro and tell me where you’d get 2000 hectares of land. And I know where it is coming from. It is from Adamawa state. I am aware,” he said.

The allegations, which surfaced online, claimed Wike allocated 2,082 hectares to one son through JOAQ Farms and Estates Limited and 1,740 hectares to another son, Jordan, totaling 3,822 hectares “worth $6.45 billion”.

However, Wike challenged the credibility of the claims, questioning where such vast land could be found in Maitama and Asokoro, two of Abuja’s most developed districts.

“The whole thing is rubbish. Where in Maitama and Asokoro can you find 2,000 hectares? Bring the documents, bring empirical evidence,” he said.

In a normal Country, Wike would be in jail for so many years for all the evil things and setbacks he has done. Hopefully, one day, he will be held accountable.

There is no guarantee that you too will not be in jail. Just do a self analysis and you will see you are no different from the leaders in one way or the other.

I am no Wike' s supporter sha.

SlavaUkraini:
Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section

Maxymilliano:
Wike is just using ogboju to mask the massive acquisition he cornered for his kids.

Asking for empirical evidence when details of occupancy certificates are in public domain and trying to cover the heist by limiting it to just Maitama and Asokoro, when most of the allocations are in developing communities, such as Kwaita, Bwari, and Gaduwa shows he's a confirm thief

AmuEbule:
You are basically talking to yourself. It's either someone you know is collecting those 100 100 naira on the roadside or you are in total denial of what's going on in Nigeria. In the end, you will find out that it's not worth it. Now, head to that mamaput and load up. I am actually not there with you, but I am more concerned that folks like you. That's the difference.

SeeWahala:
Land that they didn't use their own money to buy?

You cornered land meant for gwari people and gave to your sons and think the dust will blow over abi?

Hehehe 😂🤣 wike, you are finished
