NothingDoMe:
If the land belongs to the military, then the land is a federal government entity, of which the Land Use Act clearly states that governors have no control over federal lands.

No wonder Nigeria is where it is. Even the citizens themselves are not ready for good change. All you do is blame government online. You oppose any effort by same government to hold people accountable. You defend same system of entrenched corruption.

The land is not owned by the Nigerian military. It is a private-owned undeveloped land that Nigeria military personnel are guarding.

Bluntemperor:
And if the said land had been illegally acquired and possessed,so the Governor / as FTC Minister -has no authority to reverse such illegality because he is a Former' Army Commander,abi?
True,most of those Battles Wike is Fighting in Abuja today are those of ILLEGALITY -ON EVERY AREA OF ABUJA METROPOLITAN,BUT BECAUSE HE IS STEPPING ON THEIR TOES,MANY GAULIBLE AUDIENCES WILL NOT SEE THAT!
Please 🥺,tell us more!

Clearly if the Land was acquired by illegal means and is not designated a military land, then Wike can act to retrieve it. We will see how it plays out.

As for gullibility, i think the gullible ones are Wike and supporters who actually believe that whatever Land Wike revokes and recovers will be forever.

Once power returns back to the North, most of Wike's revocation will be reversed. Quote me in 6 years time GW.

If it is a private Land then the Land belongs to the FCT minister which is also the governor of Abuja.

Waiting for more details of this Land tussle because for Wike to back off entering that Land, after speaking to people high up in government, inidicates that there is more that meets the eyes.

OgaTheTop2:
Soldier is not civilian. Their is chain of command he must obey. If he was asked to shoot anyone, trust me, he will do so. Wike was only trying to be bossy at the wrong person and he learnt his lesson shamefully.

You say this because you were born in a lawless country. Truth is a soldier has no right to shoot at anyone unless threatened or is out defending the nation.
Those soldiers protecting that land is a shame and a total waste of the money used to train them.
A soldier belongs to the barracks and not in public handling civilian matters. This demeans them and opens them up to ridicule.
Soldiers should not be fighting policemen and vice versa.
We are still suffering the effects of military rule that's why people still see them as gods.

"wikes-clash-with-navalofficer-a-threat-to-national-security"-buratai,

WIKE IS RIGHT, ASTUTE AND ON POINT.
BURAITAI IS THE INSECURITY HERE. AND I SUSPECT THAT HE IS TRYING TO FILL THE FULANI LEADERSHIP VACUUM LEFT OVER BY THE DEMISE OF BUHARI. THAT'S CHEAP AND DANGEROUS POLITICS . FULANI HERDSMEN ARE TERRORISTS AND BUHARI WAS BEHIND THEM BY CHRISTIANA AMANPOUR CNN NEWS. I ALSO SUSPECT THAT ATIKU ELRUFAI AND SOS ARE BEHIND BURAITAI ON THE SEARCH FOR A RETIRED MILITARY LEADERSHIP FOR MACBAN.

I will rather be at the right hand of the Devil than to be in his path….

While Wike is permitted to continue shouting like a tout right?

As much as people may not like Wike, it is very irresponsible to be talking to a minister like that. Hw can a ministry or an agency of govt be on enforcement and then u say u follow orders.. however, where wike is to be blamed is his slowness to call d CNS Or CDS to order his boys out. Altogether. It is an embarrassment to the country that a security agency would prevent the work of a representative of govt. This is not much about wike but the chaos of the system. Indeed the c-in-c should actually issue a query to the CNS(since the officer was actually following orders) for allowing his institution to be involved in such lawlessness

What exactly was Wike enforcing? Is there no legal route to dealing with the issue instead of leading men there to create chaos? Since the Naval authorities claim they own the property, reach out to their command structure, or take them to court over the property. Engaging in a unilateral action is why we are here. Should the minister of FCT just wake up and walk into a property to enforce a reclamation? That’s abuse of power.

Imagine if it was an ordinary civilian, by now his property will be gone without explanation or compensation. Absolute nonsense and lawlessness of a country!

How did you expect him to talk to the tout of a minister, rather you should be saying wike shouldn't be talking to that officer like that, the guy was calm with wike, he doesn't take orders from wike, he is not working for wike everybody get em oga bro.

NO.
BURAITAI IS VERY WRONG.

Port8080:
So, the Commander in Chief will ask an ordinary sub leautenant to vacate a premises, and he will refuse? Even his CNS will deny him in that scenario.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves here. First of, whatever the c in c will do to make that guy vacate that place, he will or must call his boss or superiors. That's the rule of military,

ElSudani:
Buratai most likely didn't issue any statement regarding this issue.

He should because wike will eventually put your president into deep water, trouble, If care is not taken. He thinks everything is by gra gra. This is not political terrain, even your president and any president tread carefully within the military, you don't provoke them like you do to civilian without any action. Your president just survived a coup, another one may consume his life if care is not taken. You think everything is joke or politics, mind you, you can't get away with somethings in this life all the time

sweerychick:
Hmm Wike really messed up. His utterances was uncalled for, he just disgraced himself, instead of engaging higher military hierarchy to address the issue diplomatically he felt like a demigod until he met his match.

But again, as much as Wike is an arrogant silly egoistic chump, why is Burutai quick to release a statement? Why hasn't he made a statement against bandits and insecurity in the country then he is quick to release about this incident

Now you see it.

omoredia:
So for building approval wike should call Tinubu. U can see how ur worldview affects our nationhood and the perception of rule of law.

In Nigeria or some part of the world, when power jam power, you have to use diplomatic ways to solve the situation. Before Wike got to that position, the military personnel has already been there. So both have power and connections. Before Wike embark on that journey, he has already sent some people and they were sent back with force. Knowing it's a military thing, why didn't Wike called the sitting military hierarchy to call the personnel to order. And if that didn't work, he should talk to the c in c. Everything is not by gra gra

Thundafireseun:
If that soilder boy sees armed bandits or armed robbers,…, his type will run away

So will you stay? What kind of useless comment did you make. He stood his ground because of orders which is the right thing to do. A soldier obeys the last order. Have you seen him in the Frontline? How do you know his type will run? Is it by face or age?

Not saying he should disobey the last order.
I mean the Navy has no business protecting a land property.
This is a civillian government not Military.

princeade86:
then tell me where an army officer disobey the last order and go scot free.

Provoke the military? By enforcing the law? You just assume everyone in the military is ok with impunity. What is the legacy of those who planned the previous coups?
People who think like you are their legacy.
Soldiers who terrorize civilians are their legacy.
Ex naval officers picking a fight with a serving minister is their legacy.
Nepotism, corruption and gross mismanagement of our country.
Go on YouTube and look at the video of Tafawa Balewa's official visit to the US and compare it with how they treat us today, that is their legacy.

What do you mean being at the right hand of devil than to be in his path ?

This terrorist apologist dey talk too?

Can you explain the bolded please.
Why?

NOGRUDGES:
Government officials usually live above the law, when people overstep there area of operation this is what happens. Even if a covet operation is ongoing there are security clearance protocols for stakeholders. Now I know why many governors dey include military personnel for their convoy.

Being a minister or not, those Ministers tend to abuse power while in office, how can wike subject lands he trespass on as illegal, even if the owner provide documents for the land he terms it as they being scammed into the deal. Who sold the land in the first place? If it happens to you or your relatives one day then you will know and understand what am trying to say here. Even most land purchased legally from government some of this powerful government officials one day say it's illegal due to abuse of power. This is corruption if you ask me.

Wike, often times will want to exercise his power the wrong way. Even the naval officer shows composure still your almighty minister was abusive, saying you are a fool, who are you? Instead of him to do the needful.

Wike should know you can't win all the time and all men cannot bow down to him or look stupid to him always. I think he has met his match which most definitely humbled him your minister.

Thanks. I love everything you wrote up there, especially the bolded.

I wonder why many people here are supporting the navy-guy even if Wike is hot-headed sometimes, but that navy-guy was wrong. Is the soldier an Fct administrator!

autoez:
I'm not surprised by the soldier’s behavior. Nigerian soldiers are notorious for being disrespectful and intimidating. They’re often used by civilians to settle personal or civil disputes. I actually admire that Wike stood his ground against him. You’d never see an American soldier act like that, never. Everyone has their own role: Wike was doing his, while the soldier overstepped and did someone else’s. He should be on the battlefield tackling insecurity, not confronting a minister on orders from a retired officer. Is he a lawyer?

Lifestone:
Like when? Abeg let's not misinform people. An Army Officer CAN NOT be tried in regular court while still in service.Heust first be Court martial, decommissioned before he can be tried in civilian court

Who dey give false information?
Educate yourself! No time, i have other commitments. .

OgaTheTop2:
Focus on the topic. This is not about bandit.

What is buratai saying. Someone who ordered the slaughter of civilians in kaduna.

Who is Wike to give the c in c order?to tell his boys to vacate the site?

Good question. The land in dispute is large enough to accommodate as many retired officers as possible. A toad is not seen running in the day time..

Wike has no constitutional power, but he is the Fct minister. So what are you then saying!
What right does the soldier has to stand against Wike!

chidiokay:
Hi


Oga what you dont know you dont know, What wike Did is unacceptable all over the world .... the military uniform is a full representation of Nigeria.

Wike talking down and insulting a man ON military uniform is tantamount to insult on Nigeria and govt.
Military represent Nigeria anywhere in the world But Wike just an ordinary appointee .. Ministers has no constitution power to order an Arrest talk more on Naval office thats gross Misconduct

Respect they say his Reciprocal, the Naval officier accorded Wike due respect But it was Wike that was verbally seen misbehaving like a power drunk ... you cant insult the nation army even a govt official its doesnt speak well of the presidency

He is FCT minister does not mean he can act unjust, infact he is binded to work by the province of the law .. .. take the man to court

As a minister going out to rain insult on an officier wearing national uniform is a disgrace, wike went about his right the wrong way .. thats it
