Land Revocation: Wike targeting opposition for Tinubu ahead 2027- Frank alleges

A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Timi Frank, has called on members of opposition political parties who intend to run against President Bola Tinubu in 2027 to brace up for the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike’s vendetta, persecution and oppression by way of revocation of their land titles in the nation’s capital.

He added that those who have opposed Wike’s shenanigans in Rivers State should also brace up for similar treatment.

Frank in a statement issued on Saturday described the purported revocation of the Certificate of Occupancy, C of O of former President Muhammadu Buhari, that of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume as a Nollywood script.

He said: “We have intelligence at our disposal that the list of land allottees whose C of O have purportedly been revoked by Wike is part of his grand strategy to harass and intimidate members of opposition political parties and others that may want to contest against President Bola Tinubu in 2027.”

Frank noted that already Buhari has denied owning the land attached to his name which was purportedly revoked by Wike while Abbas has said he is not indebted to the FCTA.

He said every sane Nigerian knows that Wike, as a minister in Tinubu’s administration, dare not revoke lands belonging to key officials in this administration listed by Wike.

“Therefore Wike is using their names as a cover to deflect the criticism of his land-grabbing spree and his demolitions of properties in the FCT that have been targeted at poor and innocent Nigerians,” Frank said.

He challenged Wike to show proof that top All Progressives Congress, APC, members who are political office holders contained in the list he published actually owned lands said to have been revoked.

“What he is doing in FCT is not different from what he did in Rivers State as Governor where he revoked C of O of lands of his political opponents and demolished their property,” he said.
