Breaking: Allegations of Massive Land Racketeering Rock FCT Under Wike's Watch
Abuja, Nigeria In a scathing public statement, Comrade Timi Frank, a former deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has demanded the immediate suspension of Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), citing serious allegations of land racketeering, abuse of office, and corruption.
Frank, who now serves as the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) ambassador to East Africa and the Middle East, warned that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s credibility is at stake if he fails to take swift action.
Land Allocation Scandal: What Are the Allegations?
According to recent investigations by People’s Gazette and statements by Senator Ireti Kingibe, Wike is alleged to have:
Illegally revoked land titles and reallocated them to cronies and family members.
Distributed prime Abuja land to political allies, bypassing legitimate applicants and investors.
Reassigned land previously allocated to foreign embassies, raising diplomatic red flags.
Enabled his 95-year-old father and young children (who have reportedly never worked) to acquire high-value FCT land plots.
“This reeks of conflict of interest and corruption of the highest order,” Frank declared.
Why Is Everyone Quiet?
Frank didn't mince words, slamming the EFCC, ICPC, Nigeria Police, and National Assembly for their deafening silence:
“Are these institutions now complicit in Wike’s alleged corrupt practices? Why is the National Assembly ignoring this when it has oversight on the FCT?”
He further claimed that Wike’s pattern of land grabbing dates back to his time as Governor of Rivers State, where he is rumored to be one of the largest private landowners.
“Suspend Wike Immediately,” Frank Demands
Frank's message to President Tinubu was crystal clear:
“Suspend Wike now and set up an independent panel of inquiry into all FCT land allocations since his appointment.”
“Your inaction will confirm that impunity and corruption are the hallmarks of your administration.”
He warned that foreign investors and local developers may flee due to an apparent breakdown in due process and transparency.
Flashy Projects vs Real Development
Frank dismissed Wike’s visible infrastructural projects in the FCT as a smokescreen for deeper corruption:
“Past FCT Ministers developed new districts like Wuye, Jabi, and Jahi without fanfare or looting. Why must we tolerate this impunity now?”
Nigeria Must Speak Up!
This is not just about land. This is about leadership, accountability, and the future of Nigeria's capital city.

Final Thoughts
Nigeria cannot afford to ignore these weighty allegations. The integrity of the FCT and the reputation of this administration hang in the balance. If the president fails to act, history may remember this as a defining moment of silence in the face of impunity.
Stay informed. Demand justice. Protect the FCT.
