Publisher, Dele Momodu, has reacted to the decision by President Tinubu to intervene on the sealing of some properties in Abuja over unpaid ground rent.
The Federal Capital Territory Authority FCTA which is being supervised by the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Monday, May 26, sealed up several business premises including banks, fuel stations, FIRS office as well as the national secretariat of the PDP, over unpaid ground rents running into billions of Naira.
Following the outcry by some property owners, President Tinubu last night directed that the sealing of the properties be put on hold and gave defaulters 14 days window to make amends.
Reacting via his Instagram page, Momodu said this action by President Tinubu shows he is in charge of his government. He said prior to yesterday, many used to think Nigeria had two Presidents, Tinubu and Wike. He stated that with President Tinubu’s intervention, it is now obvious to all that Wike has a Boss who can checkmate his excesses.

‘’THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TINUBU…
Your Excellency, good evening Sir. I have just read the news here in America that you have stepped into the matter of your cantankerous Minister of FCT, MR NYESOM WIKE who sealed the National Secretariat of the PDP, the biggest rival of your ruling party, APC, and properties of other defaulters in Abuja earlier today. While no one should condone non-compliance of government obligations, government must always restrain itself from vindictive outbursts such as that of Nigeria’s most querulous politician who I’m sure is fast becoming a liability to your government. The decision to stop Wike today achieved several points in your favor.
We used to think we have two Presidents in Nigeria, TINUBU and WIKE. Now, we know WIKE has a Boss who can checkmate his excesses. How I wished you had stopped his reckless disruption and distraction of the SIM FUBARA government in Rivers State and saved the hapless people from this unfortunate contraption called emergency rule.
Nigerians are currently going through so much hardship and pain and you need to rescue them from WIKE’s additional burden and insults. WIKE’s assignments are far smaller than that of Minister DAVE UMAHI, yet the man is so humble while WIKE subjects Nigerians to his tautological press conferences as if he’s running his own Federal government and not under anyone’s control.
Sir, there can’t be two Captains in one ship and I hope WIKE got that message loud and clear from your powerful intervention today…
