The #SaveJabiPark action in Abuja today is about defending public parks from land grabbers and official thieves.

Jabi Park belongs to the people, not to greedy politicians, their cronies, or land speculators. Public spaces must remain public. We will resist every attempt to steal the breathing spaces of Abuja residents.

Sowore Leads Hundreds Of Abuja Protesters On ‘Save Jabi Lake’, Condemns Land Grabbing By FCT Minister Wike

Former presidential candidate and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore on Saturday led hundreds of protesters in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, in a demonstration against large-scale land grabbing allegedly facilitated by the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike.

The protesters, who trooped out in significant numbers across key parts of the capital, accused the FCT administration of hijacking legitimately acquired lands in Abuja and reallocating them to political associates and cronies.

Carrying placards and chanting solidarity songs, the demonstrators repeatedly called for the protection of public spaces, particularly Jabi Lake and Jabi Park, insisting that the areas must not be encroached upon or privatized.

Some of the inscriptions on banners read: “Save Jabi Lake Now,” “Save Jabi Park Now,” and “Stop Land Grabbing in Abuja.”

As the protest gained momentum, chants echoed through the streets with demonstrators alleging: “Wike is a land thief,” and “Tinubu is a land thief,” referencing the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, under which the FCT ministry currently operates.

The protesters demanded an immediate halt to what they described as “systematic takeover of public lands,” calling for transparency in land allocation processes within the capital city.

As of the time of filing this report, the mass protest is still ongoing.

Aleister:
Only God knows how many hectares of land this criminal Wike has grabbed in fct. The day of reckoning is coming for this government of jackals and criminals.

LordBiden:
Where is the evidence wike is grabbing the said land.The said land was revoked because it was underdeveloped for over 15yrs, abandoned for years while shanties where built over it.


So asking people to do things right is now land grabbing.You believe sowere an attention seeker who is a sworn enemy of wike.

I am even sure you don't even know the issues surrounding the said jabi lake,you all just want to paint wike in bad light.

Land grabbing but the owners of the land dont want to develop it.

When a land has been underdeveloped for 10-15yrs the government can collet that land and resell to another .

A land mot used for farming or commercial activities, just open and vast abd green snd has been there for years.

No development
No structure
No plan

Just empty and void.

If am in wikes shoes i will do worse ..i will revoke all land that hasn't been developed in the fct by private individuals for over the past 10yrs down and revoke it.

Resell it to people and give an untanium of 5yrs to start development or risk land revoked and transferred to another.
