The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has vowed to keep giving his political opponents sleepless nights.
The Minister stated this on Thursday at a media briefing shortly after the FCT Executive Committee meeting.
He vowed that his opponents in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Congress (APC), or in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will have sleepless nights as long as he is on the side of the law.
Wike stated this while defending his outburst with a Naval officer, Lieutenant AM Yerima, during a land dispute in the Gaduwa area of Abuja.
The plot of land which was allocated for Parks and Recreation was being altered by the owner, a former Chief of Naval Staff, Awwal Gambo (retd).
Efforts by officials of the FCT Administration to stop workers from illegally converting the land from the original allocation failed as military officers were drafted to the site and prevented them from carrying out their duty.
Aggrieved by this move, Wike stormed the site in the company of his team, but they were prevented from having access to the property by Yerima and the military officers.
The action of Yerima and the military officers led to a heated argument with Wike and the situation had since degenerated into a national outrage.
However, Wike said: “I have no regret of my political opponents, I will continue to make them have sleepless nights, whether you are in PDP, APC, or ADC.
“I have no regrets, in as much as I know that I’m standing by the law, if you like bring any ethnicity and colouration, it’s your business.”
