FCT Minister rejects religious plea, insists takeover will proceed without compromise.
Tensions have erupted in Abuja as FCT Minister Nyesom Wike declared that the controversial Jabi Lake land takeover will proceed “even if God comes down.”
The explosive statement came in response to a pastor’s emotional appeal urging the government to halt the demolition and reconsider its decision.
Wike, known for his hardline stance, defended the revocation, insisting that due process had been followed and that no amount of pressure would reverse the action.
The development has sparked outrage and heated debates, with many Nigerians questioning the tone and implications of the minister’s remarks.
This is not the first time Wike has taken a confrontational stance amid political and administrative disputes, as his influence continues to shape national conversations.
As the situation unfolds, residents and stakeholders brace for what could become one of Abuja’s most contentious land disputes in recent times.
