FCT, Abuja – A group has backed Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), in enforcing an orderly development of the territory.
TimesNow.com.ng reported that Timi Frank criticized President Tinubu for not addressing the illegal demolitions by Wike in the FCT.
Frank called the demolitions âillegalâ and âoppressive,â and warned Tinubuâs silence could hurt his 2027 prospects and urged him to intervene to protect citizens’ rights.
In reaction to the development, the Coalition for Truth and Justice (CTJ) maintained that Wike’s enemies are on a mission to disrupt his ongoing efforts to transform the FCT into a model capital territory.
In a statement on Friday, December 13, CTJâs executive director, Dr Idoko Ainoko, said Wikeâs detractors are masquerading as emergency activists and property owners using allegations of land grabbing and revocation of land titles as their cover to sabotage the FCTâs masterplan.
He dismissed the accusations against the minister as baseless and part of a calculated attempt by Wikeâs detractors to undermine his transformative efforts in the FCT, Vanguard reported.
Ainoko pointed out:
The CTJâs director also praised Wikeâs proactive approach to tackling illegal land encroachments and unauthorised constructions.
Ainoko urged the public to disregard the accusations and to support Wikeâs ongoing efforts to transform the FCT.

The minister also gave seven operational vehicles to improve the operations of the institutions on the same day.
