Reuben Abati, on Arise News this morning, strongly criticised FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, accusing him of embarrassing President Tinubu and acting like a political bouncer inside the PDP. He said Wike’s claims of respecting the rule of law are doubtful, as he selectively obeys court orders and uses self-help during demolitions despite several judgments on the Abuja Master Plan.
Abati added that top military officers and security chiefs, including the CDS, the Defence Ministers and the IGP, have all disagreed with Wike’s recent conduct, describing it as unprofessional and unlawful. He said Wike’s confrontations with journalists, clashes with the military and overbearing attitude have put the Presidency in a difficult position.
He urged President Tinubu to caution Wike, stressing that no public officer is above the law and all government appointees must conduct themselves with proper decorum.
