He Told His GOC To Rig Election Against Me, Kill Me – Wike Tackles Buratai by Pakute(op): 7:22am On Nov 14, 2025
On Thursday, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike expressed disappointment over what he described as misinterpretation of the incident that occurred last Tuesday with Naval officers led by Lt A.M Yerima.

Wike questioned the comment by the former Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai (rtd), that his action is a threat to national security and a slight on the authority of President Bola Tinubu.

The Minister, who addressed reporters at his official residence at Life Camp, faulted Buratai, for asking him to apologise to Lt. Yerima for the incident which happened in Gaduwa District of Abuja, saying the former Army chief cannot educate him about decency.


The Minister also did not spare Yarima for his role in the altercation that escalated over the disputed parcel of land that belonged to former Naval Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo, which the FCT Administration said was illegal.

He accused the naval officer of accepting an illegal order in stark contravention of the rule of law.

Wike said: “I read what one former Chief of Army Staff wrote. He cannot tell me of decency and he can’t teach me. This was the same man who (allegedly) directed his GOC to rig election, my election in 2019. He couldn’t rig me. He lost.

“He told his GOC to kill me and I could not be killed. He became an agent in APC primaries to one of APC’s presidential aspirants. Look at the rank of a polling agent. He is the one commenting that the minister did this and that. I have never seen people like this.


“I have no regrets for my political opponents. I will continue to make them have sleepless nights. Whether you are in PDP, whether you are in APC, whether you are in ADC, it is not my business.

” I have no regrets supporting President Tinubu and I have never hidden my intention and I will continue to do what is right. So, if you like to write anything you want to write, as far as I know, I am standing by the side of the law. If you like, bring every ethnicity coloration, it is your business”.


Wike also blamed Lt. Yerima for the part in shoving by insisting he acted within the confines of his authority as a Minister representing President Bola Tinubu.

He said: “I mean, anybody should know. Yes, you are a young man and you are a commissioned officer. Mr man, I am a Minister and I’m representing Mr. President. That alone should have given you that decorum. But no, no you chose to challenge the Minister representing the President.

“And then you think that I am not a human being, I have no emotions. You are carrying out an illegal job. When people say, Order, do you need to carry out an illegal order?.

When you are an officer, you are doing something illegal. Even if it’s a legal order given to you, that job you are doing is illegal. I went there as an institution not a private individual, they arrested our officials”.


He cautioned everyone irrespective of position to respect the rule of law at all times.

As much as I dislike Wike and his politics he is completely right this time around

But this is a fight he likely won't win, because his boss clearly lacks the balls to support him. Beyond the obvious face-off with the corrupt Nigerian military establishment, the issue is already turning into a north-versus-south conflict and the northerners have never really been comfortable with a man from the Niger Delta running Abuja, so there...

The Wike you ordered for and the Wike you got, whether you're in Govt or in opposition, he doesn't care. Not like the snakes you worship as leaders in the opposition.

His boss lacks balls to support him yet he has been carrying out his duties without being restricted. You think he can be this bold without the backing of the President?. Una go dey on social media dey do chochocho.

In my previous post, I mentioned that the Army are only throwing their weight behind the young soldier for obvious reasons (if you know, you know), however Wike has handled this terribly and all of this would come back to hurt him.

I can't think of any other politician in recent history that has burned their bridges with their colleagues on both sides of the political landscape and has lost every good will and sympathy from the public like Wike has, and it only took him 3 years to do this

In just 3 years. Wike has created enemies:
1. In the opposition.
2. In his former political party (he still claims to be a member)
3. In his current political party (he still claims he isn't a member, who knows, who cares)
3. Among everyday Nigerians.
4. In his state of origin.
4. Now he has set his target on creating enemies in the armed forces.

It's like he is trying to set a world record for self-destruction.

He's lack of education, lack of morals and ethics, poor judgement and lack of critical thinking is "shinning" brighter than the sun, everyone everywhere can clearly see it.

Someone like Wike, if appointed as a diplomat, could very well drag Nigeria into a war with another African nation or even a world power.

During the media parley, Wike said when Obasanjo got the memo, he put a call through to him to resolve his land issue in the FCT, ditto General TY Danjuma. These are former President, former Chief of Army Staff and former minister of defense respectively, yet they went through the appropriate channel without resorting to abusing their military privileges not resorting to physically assaulting officials of Government who are discharging their duties. Much less a retired chief of Naval staff who is less ranked feeling above the law. And even more unfortunate is the fact that some military chiefs giving the impression that being a uniformed man automatically places you above the law. That is the lingering mentality of colonialism which we must dismantle.

-Kiss the truth!
Re: He Told His GOC To Rig Election Against Me, Kill Me – Wike Tackles Buratai by SlavaUkraini:
Those of you supporting the Retired Naval Officer for developing a land without building approval will also applaud and dance if there is a military coup in Nigeria ...

All over the advanced world, power belongs to the people and not the military

If you believe that a civilian government is not living up to your expectations, vote them out Democratically not through the backdoor by supporting a military coup ...

The place of the military remains the Barracks and Warfronts.
Re: He Told His GOC To Rig Election Against Me, Kill Me – Wike Tackles Buratai by malali:
Nyesom Wike, all you have to say is:

“I had a heated exchange with Nigerian Navy personnel, and in the intensity of the moment I used language that does not reflect my values or my respect for our armed forces. I extend my sincere apologies to the Nigerian Navy and to all Nigerians.

I remain fully committed to working collaboratively to resolve all housing and land matters in the FCT, and I thank the President for his continued confidence in my service and dedication to the nation.”


This will earn you more respect amongst sane Nigerians. All these, they are after me...doesn't impress some of us, we all saw you call a uniformed naval officer "A big fool"....You wont die if you apologize. You will even look more gentlemanly and more graceful.


You are behaving like a textbook case of a narcissist.
1-You lack introspection
2-You lack accountability for your actions
3-You rather die than apologize
4-You worship your ego
5-You are quick to keep malice
6-You only get along with people that flatter your ego and worship you.

It's a matter of time, Wike would tell Nigerians how rigged 2023 election in Rivers State in favour of the current president. It's his nature whenever the odds is against him. We are waiting.

This man should sit this one out and take his L while he still can.

He is getting more and more annoying by the day. Abeg, we have more important things to discuss in this country. Doctors are on strike and bandits are attacking everyone.

This man's noise is same energy as Regina Daniels' family. Insufferable!

The former CDS, General Lucky Irabor also had some words for Wike yesterday. We are waiting to hear how he also tried to kill Wike. He should continue to insult serving and retired military personnel. Wike will inevitably be the Achilles heel of Tinubu.

Which law permits a Minister to demolish a building without a court order?

It is now clear that the Nigerian security structure is not there to secure Nigerians or protect this nation from external threats Instead, their objective is to uphold the existing internal power structure and safeguard the interests of influential individuals and groups.

Please stop this ethnic colouration you are trying to bring into the matter. Is General Irabor a northerner, too? Wike goofed and he should be called out for it. The man whose land he stole at life camp is he a northerner? Abegiii

The same political actors who call themselves civilians are the ones polarizing the system. We have more miliatry men guarding individuals than we have securing our borders against external aggression. In some cases the corrupt politicians use the same military and other security agencies to protect their loots. So, tell me, if that is the case why blame the military for doing what they do.

Wike saying Rule of law should be respected. Rotomi Amechi declare a coffin in rivers State as a governor. Joseph Mba as the commissioner of police refused to enforce it, claiming orders from about. Were was the rule of law?
