Wike Faces Backlash for Allegedly Handing Prime Abuja Lands to His 90-Year-Old Father, Family, and Allies

We’ve received reports that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike is allegedly on a land-acquisition spree, distributing some of Abuja’s most desirable plots to his 90-year-old father, siblings, cousins, nephews, and loyal supporters. This has ignited a firestorm of criticism from concerned citizens and urban planners who worry that public assets are being transformed into private fortunes.

Critics are pointing out that the level of nepotism and self-enrichment is off the charts, especially when housing and land are becoming increasingly out of reach for everyday Nigerians.

“Is this governance or a monarchy?” one resident of Abuja questioned.

Nigerians are demanding an investigation into the FCT land allocation practices under Wike’s administration.
