He’s talking from both sides of his mouth. More like an hypocrite!
Silly talk..

He condemned both sides..

Falana is not the only one that said the CNS was also wrong..

A soldier was given an order by his superior. The only other person who can overrule that order is another superior officer to the officer who gave the initial order. Wike should have gone through the soldier's superiors. Simple. Instead he chose to rant and show himself.

No be you again

Senior Advocate of Nonsense

Wike acted within his rights to insult an officer who was under orders.

Wike went there to bully and was disgraced by someone who recognises authority.

Exactly, that’s is the law, soldier was protecting a personal interest (his Oga personal property) while wike was protecting national interests (park and walk way)

Whether he acted within or outside his right.. using derogatory words is wrong

That's the fact and that's my stand but delusional emotional Nigerians just like to support nonsense all in the name of "We don't like Wike". These precedence you are supporting will definitely have a bitter end that all of you including those supporting this impunity in a democratic setting would suffer for.
Stop crying all over NL
When Wike was abusing power and constituting nuisance all over the place none of you raised your voice against him. You even clapped for him.
Now you're going everywhere gaslighting as if you really care for the rule of law
Ok. If you supported the illegal removal of Fubara, may same fate befall you when you're at a place of goodness!!

He has to obey the order, but the issue here is the Oga sent him to protect personal interest with tax payers money, his Oga personal land is not official duty , this will be classified as abuse of uniform and power in the UK, a retired military chief can not use state apparatus to fight against state interest

Let’s say you are working as estate Chief security officer for instant , got fired or retired, can you go back there and order the guards to obey your personal interest against the estate interest?

Because people doesn’t like wike doesn’t mean he’s wrong in this context

People who supposed to benefit from the park and walking designed in Abuja master plan are the loser here and not wike , it’s the public who lost to personal interest of the general, not wike

I have no issue with wike, he doesn't even know me. But the fact is that soldier was given a direct order by his superiors. And in the military you obey all commands without hesitation. Wike should have gone through the soldier's superiors and have a different order given to the soldier. A captain can't change an order given by a general but a general can change an order given by a captain.

I understand but the fact is this too, that soldier was acting on an order given by his oga/superior. Any other thing is secondary. So the soldier was right to stick to the order given to him. Wike should understand that and gone to his superiors.

Falana talks anyhow sometimes. Do you go to inspect a land with bulldozers and wheel loaders. What rubbish inspection is that. Wike just want to embarrass retired top military officials because he thinks we are in a democratic government. Isn't the army the one protecting the democratic government. Can't you see how a coup was foiled recently. You don't desecrate the military because we are in a civilian government and talk anyhow because he thinks he has power. Power is transient, stop building an army of enemies because that office wike is bragging with will be taken over by another person tomorrow and he can revoke all the lands wike have given our. I employ wike to calm down and face his job diplomatically before he will bring generational curse on himself and families

This one has come with his own.
Did Wike go there to inspect the land or to enforce a stop work order?
They don't believe in the rule of law anymore. They believe in the use of force.

Daddy Falz, we know he has statutory right to inspect the land but a man with sense and dignity would have simply chosen a different course of action when the naval military spoke with him. He didn't have to degenerate into calling officers fools... thats the point. The only reason Wike was there is to show who is boss to the military in an unnecessary show of force. Whether the military was right or wrong is another topic. He just wan show say after president, na him but that is totally unnecessary.

He himself has stopped law enforcement from carrying their statutory role, so he should know better. Sanwo Olu had better approach and good handling of the matter. He didn't derogate the status of his office to insults. There everyone condemn the act of police but when someone like Wike moves up and down like a demigod, without empathy, but with impunity, the result is what he got, legal or no legal. The same applies to Umahi denigrating a journalist, calling him a boy just to show superiority, shows how power toxic these guys are and they will all learn. Aĺl na time.

U are the emotional one.... no one trusts a corrupt politician that's incharge of a ministry that can ruin a person's business .. there's pure injustice going on in FCT ... u can't go to the courts cos its been bought over by same politicians.... the only 2 people that have power in this country and control things are the politician thru the courts that they have bought over and soldiers , thru the weapons that they have control over ... so if wike tries to use magomago thru his authority as fct minister and custodian of Abuja lands to grab lands irresponsibly , the soldiers also will use their authority as custodians of the Nigerian weaponry to protect their interest as well.... that thing that wike knows , they know it too .... when u make injustice legal , expect anarchy.... this is what happens when people loose faith in the courts... he planed on taking the land to give to the new INEC chairman , so that he can have control in elections just like the courts .... democracy is built on justice, built on 3 separate powers , Executive legislative and the judiciary.... but unfortunately , their powers isn't separate anymore. , they now stand as one , being controlled by the executive.... on paper it's democracy, but in reality , it isn't...

Imagine if u own a car , but havnt registered it or paid import duty and then the minister of transport spots u and then seizes it cos its a rare Bentley and he like it ...he then keeps it for himself or gives it to an associate for favours... even if he has the authority to seize , its injustice if he doesn't give u the chance to register the vehicle ans pay import duty... now u have the right to challenge him in court , but u know u will loose put cos he has the courts in his pocket..... that's what wike is doing in Abuja ...

That was my position all through the debate over the land matter.

This is coming from one of the best lawyer in Nigeria. All the emotion induced opinions can now be thrashed into the dustbin

I agreed with you in that aspect, but it seem nobody is talking about the main issue , public reaction reflects celebration of wike failure on that assignment, why? Because a cross section of the people doesn’t like him, wike is a successful man , he won’t be walking the street, he doesn’t need the walk way, and again it seem every one was celebrating the solder without looking at the main issue , why?

The soldier is enforcing corruption

You are intelligent, thank you

That land was allocated for parks and walkway in the Abuja master plan, the company that got the hold of the land has being lobbying to change the plan to and use the land for commercial complex , every FCT minister has refused to approve it, the company then sold the land to the retired security chief , who want to use the land for his own personal interest, he has no right to use soldier to defend that against the state , I wonder how Nigerians reason

The minister was performing his statutory duty. Any occupier of land must allow the minister or governor to enter and inspect the property, Falana said.

But stopping Wike based on one order from a former CNS is totally wrong too..

Both sides are wrong..
