I felt a painful shame seeing the Minister talk to a commissioned Naval Officer like that. The Minister, who is an agent of the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, spat on the glory of the Armed Forces for talking to an officer, who is simply following orders, in that manner.
I mean, Wike could simply put a call to his boss and resolve the issue rather than creating a scene like that. It is infra dig the high office he occupies.
Legally speaking, all land in a state (read FCT) belongs to the Governor (read Wike) who holds it in trust for the people. Wike’s powers over land in the FCT are immense but I never thought a day will come when I will see the FCT Minister exercising these powers in such a brazen manner.
He is not a hero. Hero for what? Naval officers in other countries don’t achieve hero status by being deployed to guard highbrow properties of their former bosses.
