Wike Never Allocated Land In Abuja To Children – Aide Insists

By Joyce Remi-Babayeju

Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Lere Olayinka, again has insisted that his principal at no time did he allocate any land in Abuja to his children, adding that, “as usual, this sponsored blackmail has failed.”
In a statement signed by Olayinka on Tuesday, said that those seeking to blackmail the FCT Minister will need to put in more efforts, adding that “nothing will stop him from continuing with his developmental efforts in the FCT in accordance with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda.

He said, “Last week, it was an unfounded propaganda of Wike allocating 2,082 hectares of land in Asokoro and Maitama to one of his sons, even when no such land is available in the two districts combined. They used a document showing the allocation of land for farming in Bwari Area Council to a company, JOAQ Farms to justify the falsehood.

“This week, it is tales of allocation of land to another son of the Minister because documents showed allocation of lands to a company, Jordan Farms.

“Even though like other Nigerians, it is the rights of children of the Minister, his friends, associates, and relatives to own lands anywhere in the country, including the FCT, provided all necessary conditions are met, adding that as at today, no land has been allocated to any of the Minister’s children.”

“No doubt, land was duly allocated to Jordan Farms and Estates Limited, a company duly registered in Nigeria, with none of the children of the FCT Minister as director of the company. “

“That one of the sons of the FCT Minister is Jordan and there is a company, Jordan Farms and Estates Limited, is no reason anyone should conclude that the company belongs to Wike’s son.”

“Records of ownership of the company are available at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and we challenge purveyors of these stories to publish the names of the company owners.”

“For instance, my name is Lere Olayinka, and there is Lere Local Government in Kaduna State. Do I own the Local Government? Am I even from Kaduna State? There are companies like Jordan Telecommunications, Jordan Foods, etc. Are they also owned by Wike’s son?

In the United Kingdom, there is Jordan’s Farms. Is the company also owned by Wike’s son?

“On the document showing the name and signature of one of the Minister’s security aides, the question to be asked is simple, who owns the company; Hyper Communications Limited? If I choose to assist my friend, associate or relative to collect property documents, does that confer ownership of the property on me?

“Therefore, let that fellow from Adamawa State, who is struggling to get at the FCT Minister for supporting power rotation between the Northern and Southern parts of Nigeria put more efforts. This is because, just like the one of last week, this one too has failed even before its commencement.”
