Wike Loses Out as FCDA Withdraws Bulldozer from Disputed Land Linked to Ex-Naval Chief

The Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) has reportedly withdrawn its bulldozers and trucks from the disputed land in Gaduwa, Abuja — a property allegedly linked to the former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo (Rtd).

This development comes barely 24 hours after a tense confrontation between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and military personnel who stopped him and his team from accessing the same site. During that heated encounter, Wike clashed with a naval officer, calling him “foolish,” to which the officer boldly replied, “No sir, I am not a fool. I am an officer, and I have integrity.” The exchange quickly went viral, drawing widespread public reactions and comparisons to past leadership moments, such as Governor Sanwo-Olu’s calm handling of a similar standoff in Magodo.

Now, in a dramatic turn of events, the FCDA bulldozers and enforcement vehicles earlier deployed to clear the site have been moved out, leaving the land untouched. According to eyewitnesses, no FCTA official or staff remained on the ground as of this morning.

Passersby and onlookers were seen cheering and expressing satisfaction over the latest development. The crowd of bystanders reportedly booed Wike’s men as they left the site, with several voices chanting, “Wike, shame on you!” The scene reflected public sentiment against the Minister’s recent actions, which many described as heavy-handed and unpopular.

The viral video capturing the jubilant crowd highlights the growing tension between federal authorities and the military establishment — and how this controversy may have shifted public sympathy away from the FCT Minister.

Summary:

The FCDA has withdrawn its bulldozers from the disputed Gaduwa land linked to retired Naval Chief, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo, just a day after FCT Minister Nyesom Wike’s heated confrontation with military officers at the same site. Witnesses say Wike’s team quietly left as bystanders booed and chanted “Wike, shame on you!” — a moment many see as a major setback for the Minister following the viral clash where a naval officer boldly told him, “No sir, I am not a fool. I am an officer, and I have integrity.”

Wike go weak through out this week.

Finally Wike lost out. Na still court of justice that will end the matter.

Wike did not lose. Rule of law lost. Civilian lost against military. This shows that Military can do anything they like and nothing will happen. The Nigerian people lost. Democracy lost.
So tomorrow, military can do anything to Nigerians and nothing will happen.
They can bully anybody and it will be in vain.
Military authority won against Democratic Authority even in the face of military illegality.

Last last, na all of us go collect... If you celebrate this, then you are celebrating future pains that will be meted on you by the military because you cannot escape it

MILITARY PREVAIL .... MILITARY RULE IN PROGRESS

atasa arrtasa arrrrtasa arrrrrrtasa 🤣🤣

Wike is costing the president huge political capital. I hope Gbadorians are feeling the pulse of FCT residents? They are counting on Wike to deliver Abuja to Tinubu. Even Wike is fast learning that the FCT is not Port-Harcourt. Wike continues to refer to the Vice Admiral as "former". That's a huge mistake. Even the current chiefs will feel slighted because they remain loyal and are boys to those "formers".

When Wike sent military administrator to Rivers over agreement is agreement you didn't know rule of law lost ? Abeg park for sidewalk make I pass in

Before 2027 Tinubu will replace Wike as FCT minister and give it to a northerner as horse trade

Lands are just his concern, same land that will be a roof over his head when his time comes.

Military na ur mate... ?

People are angry with Wike in Abuja because of land issues. Wike is just destroying people's years of hard work irrespective of documents. I know so many people that are down because became fct minister.

Worst of it all, those lands are not used till date. He allocates land to friends, families including his children. It a shame some people are supporting him.

I know d power d Army controls bt didn't know these politicians are powerless when it comes to them. Nd i get Captain nd dey since dey settle mata for police

I assure you that there's a lot of background stuff in this story, and you and I aren't privy to it.

Wike is known to NEVER respect the rule of law. He shouldn't be talking about law like he's a saint. The military, in fact, even the presidency doesn't respect our courts/laws.

It's just sad that we find ourselves in this kind of situation.

But Wike didn't handle the situation well
His conduct was agbero-like. His verbal assault was disgraceful, and he can be sued.

From the video we've all seen, we didn't see any soldier hit or beat anyone. It's Wike's testimony vs the soldier's.

Available video evidence doesn't put Wike in good light.

I don't know anything about the papers of the land. We've seen some documents published yesterday. But we've also seen several land-grabbing reports concerning Wike. VDM did a video about this some time ago.

In summary, this is Nigeria. Our leaders don't respect the rule of law. In fact, the Law appears to be only for the poor.

We can all do better.

..ego has quickly being deflated by the Northerners in the Army..

..as a southerner..who thinks that..anyway mske I keep quiet..

When I said if he likes he should go there a million times, he wouldn't be allowed entry except Tinubu steps in, I had too many quotes.

Now the people who know more than I do have spoken, we can understand better.

Which rule of law lost.
Is there still rule of law in Nigeria.
It is law of karma that is dealing with every of this greedy politicians who have sold their souls to money.

The reason why people are happy is because it’s against Wike. All Abuja residents are happy. What he does is that he collects lands and reallocates to highest bidder. You can’t imagine the amount of land he took for his two sons for their farm and real estate business

People are just reacting because of hate against WIKE, they are not looking it in other angle. Now military can do anyhow to you with this kind of encouragement from the public
