Popular internet personality Isaac Fayose has openly confronted Minister Wike over his viral saga with military officers.
Legit.ng earlier reported that a dramatic clash between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and military officer Yerima, during an enforcement exercise in Abuja on Tuesday, made waves online.
In a widely circulated video footage, the Minister is shown in a violent altercation with some soldiers for access to a property on the territory.
Wike and Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) officials clashed after attempting to get access to a disputed tract of land purportedly linked to former Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo (rtd).
Wike is shown in a heated confrontation with uniformed troops guarding the site, asserting that the developers did not have a valid title or building approval. When one of the soldiers refused his orders, the minister, visibly enraged, lashed out.
Reacting to the incident, the brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose questioned Wike’s power in the situation. In his remarks, Fayose repeatedly urged the minister to assert his authority over the land.
He humorously referred to the situation as an embarrassment and a display of oppression, urging Wike not to be intimidated. “The land is your land, Wike. Oppressors jam oppressors. Don’t let those soldiers chance you,” Fayose said in the viral clip.
