Paul Ibe, the Media Assistant, to the former Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has taken to X (formerly known as Twitter), to condemn the the seizure of land, by the government of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), under the Minister, and former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.
According to a post on the official X handle of Paul Ibe, the Media Assistant to the former Vice President, said Nyesom Wike’s act of seizing land, sends a concerning message. He cited the case of late Colonel Paul Osakpamwan Ogbebor (NDA 001), the first commissioned officer in the Nigerian Army; and expressed dissatisfaction that his land was recently seized.
Paul Ibe had written in parts, “The troubling culture of land appropriation that has come to define the current FCT administration under Nyesom Wike is deeply disheartening. The act of seizing land from rightful owners and redistributing it to friends, family members of government officials, and supporters of the ruling party sends a deeply concerning and disreputable message.
