Sealing Abuja Properties: Wike Is Becoming Nigeria’s Alternate President – Dele Momodu

By Ayodele Oni

Chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and former Presidential aspirant, Dele Momodu, has condemned the massive seal off of buildings in Abuja by the management of Federal Capital Territory, (FCT) noting that Nyesome Wike is behaving as Nigeria’s alternate president.

FCTA management had on Monday commenced the exercise after expiration of deadline, and sealed up major offices including the national Secretariat of the PDP.

The Presidency, however, was reported to have intervened and directed that defaulters should be given more time, at least 14 days to sort out themselves.

Momodu, in his Facebook page wrote: “Your Excellency, good evening Sir. I have just read the news here in America that you have stepped into the matter of your cantankerous Minister of FCT, Mr Nyesome Wike who sealed the National Secretariat of the PDP, the biggest rival of your ruling party, APC, and properties of other defaulters in Abuja earlier today.

“While no one should condone non-compliance of government obligations, government must always restrain itself from vindictive outbursts such as that of Nigeria’s most querulous politician who I’m sure is fast becoming a liability to your government.

“The decision to stop Wike today achieved several points in your favor.

We used to think we have two Presidents in Nigeria, Tinubu and Wike.

“Now, we know Wike has a Boss who can checkmate his excesses. How I wished you had stopped his reckless disruption and distraction of the Sim Fubara government in Rivers State and saved the hapless people from this unfortunate contraption called emergency rule.

“Nigerians are currently going through so much hardship and pain and you need to rescue them from Wike’s additional burden and insults.

“Wike’s assignments are far smaller than that of Minister Dave Umahi, yet the man is so humble while Wike subjects Nigerians to his tautological press conferences as if he’s running his own Federal government and not under anyone’s control.

“Sir, there can’t be two Captains in one ship and I hope Wike got that message loud and clear from your powerful intervention today.”
