‘Wike’s Enemies Out To Disrupt Transformation Of FCT’

The Coalition for Truth and Justice (CTJ) has thrown its weight behind the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, in enforcing an orderly development of the territory, stating that his enemies are out to disrupt his ongoing efforts to transform the FCT into a model capital territory.

CTJ’s executive director, Dr Idoko Ainoko said in a statement on Friday that the minister’s detractors were masquerading as emergency activists and property owners using allegations of land grabbing and revocation of land titles as their cover to sabotage the FCT’s masterplan.

He dismissed such accusations as baseless and part of a calculated attempt by Wike’s detractors to undermine his transformative efforts in the FCT.

Ainoko said, “It is curious that people are raising the alarm about the FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike, grabbing their plots of land, revoking plots, and demolishing illegal structures, without amply proving that they were in the right and the Minister was in the wrong.

“We have also noticed that many of these people rely on the court of public opinion in social media to demonise the hard-working Minister with all manners of allegations. One would have expected anyone aggrieved by the enforcement of the FCT masterplan and other extant policies would have challenged such in a court of competent jurisdiction and enforce their rights.

“Wike’s commitment to project delivery and his visionary leadership have made him a target for those envious of his achievements. These unfounded allegations are merely a distraction from the remarkable progress being made under his administration. The Minister has always prioritised the interests of the residents of the FCT, ensuring that due processes are followed and development of structures in the FCT are conducted with utmost integrity.

“As much as some people are deploying emotional blackmail to justify their violation of the rules, the measures deployed to address these violations are necessary to ensure that the FCT continues to grow and thrive as a modern and efficient capital territory.”
