Ireti Kingibe alleges Wike reduced son’s land title fee from N200m to N2m in 48 hours
Ireti Kingibe, senator representing the federal capital territory (FCT), says Nyesom Wike, the FCT minister, illegally reduced land title bill charges for his sons from N200 million to just N2 million within 48 hours.
Kingibe made the allegations during an interview aired on Arise TV on Friday.
The lawmaker claimed she has documents to prove that Wike allocated lands to his sons and subsequently granted them illegal fee waivers worth millions of naira.
Kingibe also said the FCT minister has been displaying gross favouritism towards his family members in land allocation processes, randomly granting them illegal waivers.
“I have documents to show that Wike allocated land to his sons, huge tracks of land. Fine, as he says, though they are his sons, they’re entitled to land. No problem,” she said.
“The bills, I have them documented of N200 million that you need to pay, N100 million here that you need to pay.
“They wrote to him asking that he should give waiver and reduce it within 48 hours. They are going from N200 million to N2 million
“Of course this is illegal. At the very least, it’s unfair. It’s unethical at the very least.
“I wouldn’t come here without having the facts and the documentations.”
She expressed plans to take the documents to the national assembly to demand accountability from the Minister.
The senator also revealed how lands in the Bwari area council that was allocated for a government general hospital was revoked by the minister Wike, who reportedly plans to develop a market or mall on the site instead.
