Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant in public communications and on social media to the Minister of the Territory of the Federal Capital, Nyesom Wike, urged the senator representing the FCT, Ireti Kingibe, to stop hating the minister.
Olayinka said that Kingibe hosted hatred against wike, saying that the senator should stop seeing problems from the corner of “I hate wike”.
Olayinka said it in a statement issued on Thursday 29 May 2025.
By describing the senator’s comment on the application of the payment of the rent on the ground as ridiculously illogical, the minister’s spokesman said that the allocation of the earth is not unconditional, observing that there are conditions that must be satisfied and one of these is the annual payment of the rent on the ground.
The legislator had stated that the seal of the properties in Abuja on unpaid land rentals is carried out outside the limits of the law.
Olayinka said that the recent Kingibe diatribe against Wike was an additional advertisement of his ignorance of the law on the use of the territory and the propensity to seek economic political earnings on each issue.
He said: “It is ridiculously embarrassing that a senator at the service of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, whose duty is to make ignorant laws from the provisions of section 28, of the subsections (a) and (b) of the law on the use of the territory.
“For the education of senator Kingbe, section 28, subsections (a) and (b) of the law on the use of the territory provides that” the Government can revoke a legal employment right due to (a) a violation of any of the provisions that a certificate of employment is from section 10 considered to contain; and (b) a breach of any period contained in the employment certificate.
“Now, is the annual payment of the land on the ground is not part of the terms contained in the employment certificate? Or has Senator Kingbe just chose to advertise his short -sighted attitude towards something Wike?”
Olayinka said that the legislator should rather say that “the landowners in the FCT have the rights to refuse to pay the necessary invoices indicated in the employment certificate issued to them and that when they do, the government should simply choose samba and tamobourine and sing their praise”.
“Now, if the assigned of the land have refused to pay the rent on the ground for 10-43 years, the senator Ireti Kingbe will distract his gaze if he was the minister of the FCT,” observed the minister’s assistant.
