Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, has promised to continue giving his political rivals sleepless nights.
Shortly after the FCT Executive Committee meeting on Thursday, the Minister made this statement at a press conference.
He promised that as long as he is on the side of the law, his rivals in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), All Progressives Congress (APC), and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will have restless nights.
Wike made this claim when explaining his altercation with Lieutenant AM Yerima, a Naval officer, over a land dispute in Abuja’s Gaduwa neighborhood.
The owner, Awwal Gambo (retd), a former Chief of Naval Staff, was making changes to the land that was designated for Parks and Recreation.
Military personnel were drafted to the site and barred from performing their duties, therefore attempts by FCT Administration authorities to prevent laborers from illegally changing the land from the initial allocation failed.
Wike and his colleagues assaulted the location after being offended by this action, but Yerima and the military officials stopped them from entering the property.
Yerima’s and the military officers’ actions sparked a furious dispute with Wike, which later turned into a nationwide outcry.
Wike, however, stated: “I have no regrets about my political rivals; whether you are in the PDP, APC, or ADC, I will continue to make them have restless nights.”
“As long as I am abiding by the law, I have no regrets. You are free to bring any ethnicity or coloration you choose.”
