A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank has  called on President Bola Tinubu to order the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to stop the ongoing demolition of the houses of the poor and vulnerable in the city. 

He said through the demolitions, Wike has given the president bad name more than any other appointee in the present administration. 

 Frank, in  the  statement,   also lamented that the minister  has continued to cause damage to Tinubu’s government by his ill-timed demolitions. 

He said: “Mr President, one of the reasons you are called T-Pain is as a result of Minister Wike’s wickedness and insensitivity as well as intimidation and harassment of the residents of the FCT.

“For your information sir, the residents of some parts of the FCT have become homeless as a result of his greed and insensitivity. It is worthy to note that Wike has revoked  more land  than any other past minister of the FCT.”

Frank noted that Tinubu should take action immediately by relieving him of his duty before it is too late.

“If you (President) fail to do so, you will have yourself to blame. Take a decisive action against Wike who wants to destroy your government; don’t be silent in the face of injustice and intimidation against the very people you govern,” he said.
