The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike has vowed to continue the demolition of properties in Abuja despite series of protests calling on him to stop.
Speaking, when he donated operational vehicles to security operatives at the FCTA secretariat on Thursday, Wike said no amount of blackmail will stop him from reclaiming lands belonging to the government.
According to him, the properties being demolished are the ones built on government lands
“Let me use this opportunity to tell Nigerians and residents of Abuja, we are not afraid of blackmailing,”
“In fact, you cannot be in this kind of position and say you cannot be blackmailed particularly as regards this Abuja. There are so many land grabbers. Some of us have come to put our feet down. Let heaven fall. It is even better that heaven comes down now so that we would not be fasting again to go to heaven
“We would stop anybody who thinks they will take government land for whatever reason with formal approval. We would not look at your face. If you like be a civil rights activist or a television personality,” Wike said.
