Wike Reveals People Distorting FCT Master Plan

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike on Wednesday night accused the elite of distorting the Master Plan of Abuja.

Wike made this claim during an interview on Channels TV.

According to Wike, so many things had gone wrong in the FCT before he took over as FCT Minister on August 21, 2023.

The former governor of Rivers State further stated that the elite are the major lawbreakers in the FCT.

Wike noted that the Master Plan of the FCT has been distorted by a privileged few buildings in reserved places like the Green Area.

He said, “Today in this country, who are the major lawbreakers? Is there any poor man that is doing something to distort the Master Plan of the FCT?

“Is there any poor man that is living in Asokoro, that is living in Maitama or Garki? So, what are we talking about?”

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain added that President Bola Tinubu had seen his track record while he was governor in Rivers State before appointing him as FCT minister.

He added that certain decisions must be taken and only a strong-willed person like himself can take those decisions no matter whose ox is gored.

Wike vowed to raise a strong legal team to tackle erring members of the elite.

He also said “no going back” on the plans by the FCT Administration to demolish buildings distorting the Abuja Master Plan.
