Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dismissed reports of a clash with the Nigerian military, stating, “I have respect for the military. I will continue to respect them.”
Speaking on Thursday about the recent dispute involving FCTA officials and military personnel, Wike clarified that the issue was with a private individual who violated land laws, not with the institution of the military.
He urged Nigerians to obey the laws, adding that the government would not tolerate any attempt to violate land use regulations or obstruct officials from performing their lawful duties.
The minister stated that his actions had been guided strictly by the law and not by sentiment or emotion.
