Senator Ireti Kingibe, the lawmaker representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the National Assembly has made a damning allegation against the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
She stated that she has documents showing Wike granted illegal waivers on title land bills to his sons from N200 million to a mere N2 million within 48 hours.
The Senator who made the allegations in an interview programme on Arise TV on Friday, claimed she has documents to prove that Wike allocated lands to his sons and subsequently granted them illegal fee waivers worth millions of naira.
Sen. Kingibe also alleged that Wike had been displaying gross favoritism toward 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 stated, adding that she plans to take the documents to the National Assembly to demand accountability from the Minister.
The FCT Senator also revealed how lands in the Bwari area that was allocated for a government general hospital was revoked by Minister Wike, who reportedly plans to develop a market or mall on the site instead.
