Wike’s Bold Move: The Revocation That Shook the Capital
In the heart of Abuja, where towering edifices and sprawling roads paint the picture of power, a storm was brewing. The Federal Capital Territory, a land of order and governance, had long been plagued by one common ailment—entitlement. Individuals, institutions, and even political juggernauts believed they could feast at the table of privilege without paying their dues.
Then came Nyesom Wike, a man whose reputation preceded him, a leader unshaken by status, tribe, or party lines. He had seen the rot, the carelessness with which debts were left unpaid, and the audacity with which the privileged shrugged at financial obligations. But no more.
When the Central Bank of Nigeria found itself in the eye of the storm, they came, not with authority, but with pleas. Land revocation was not just a whisper in the corridors of power—it had become reality. Wike sat back, unwavering, as the representatives of the nation’s apex bank sought clemency. They wanted a second chance. They wanted their land back.
But Wike was a man of business. His voice, sharp as a blade, cut through the room:
“I need money. Go and pay. If you pay, I will bring it back.”
Silence fell. The message was clear. No exceptions. No special favors. No institution was above the rules.
Then came the case of the mighty Peoples Democratic Party, an entity that had bathed in billions, wielding influence like a seasoned warrior. Yet, in the shadows, a simple debt of seven million naira lay neglected. It was a mere drop in their ocean of wealth, but arrogance had blinded them.
Wike was unrelenting. He had seen the balance sheets—the grand earnings from form sales, the extravagant sums flowing into the party’s coffers. But when it came to settling a meager obligation, excuses filled the air like a thick fog.
“You make 12, 13, 20 billion selling forms. But when it’s time to pay just seven million, you won’t pay?”
And with that, the axe fell. The land was revoked. The message was sent.
No tribe. No politics. No favoritism.
Just one simple rule—pay your dues or lose your claim.
And as the news spread like wildfire, the nation watched, jaws agape. Some cheered, some fumed, but no one could ignore the shift in the winds. The age of impunity was under siege, and Wike had lit the torch.
