AM Yarima Vs Wike: Sowore Berates FCT Minister’s Clash With Military Officer On Abuja Land
A confrontation between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and military personnel over a disputed land parcel in Abuja sparked public debate. The land is allegedly owned by a retired Naval officer. Omoyele Sowore criticized the military's involvement as corruption and misplaced priorities, accusing them of protecting a privileged minority instead of securing national borders. Sowore also brought up Wike's past actions, alleging hypocrisy. Social media influencer Zara Onyinye defended Wike, emphasizing civilian supremacy over the military and accusing critics like Osita Chidoka of political bias. Onyinye claims the military's involvement in the land dispute, ongoing for over a year, is an overreach of their jurisdiction. The Navy has not yet responded, but the incident occurred shortly after the FCTA demolished illegal structures belonging to the Nigerian Police Force.

The soldier man was just following orders. Wike was overly offensive and shouldn't talk to anybody that way
