‘The Time Has Come For Tinubu To Call Wike To Order’ – Reuben Abati
Nigerian journalist Reuben Abati has called on President Tinubu to rein in FCT Minister Nyesom Wike following a recent dispute between Wike and a naval officer over land in Abuja. Abati criticized Wike's behavior as intimidation and overreach of ministerial power, arguing no minister should dictate to the media or military. Wike, in response, dismissed commentators who claimed the officer "matched" him, citing laziness and failure to investigate attacks on FCTA officials on enforcement assignments and the threat they face. He defended his actions, highlighting escalating assaults against government officials and questioning the rationale for allowing such incidents under his watch.
