How Wike Allotted Multi-Billion Land To 90-Year-Old Father, Siblings, Cousins, Nephews, Cronies In Abuja – Report
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has allegedly allocated prime Abuja lands to his family members and friends.
According to a report by Peoples Gazette, Wike signed 33 approvals for land allocations to his family and friends, including his 90-year-old father, Joshua Nlemanya Wike, who received a plot of land in Guzape II worth N400 million.
The allocations which were made on July 16, 2025, also included lands for Wike’s paternal cousin, Believe Wike; nephew, Victor Wike; nephew, Henry Wike; and cousin, Enwusonye Promise Wike, according to documents cited by Peoples Gazette.
Other beneficiaries included eight family members of James Hunwo, who received individual allocations on the same day.
The report noted that this is not the first time Wike has been accused of allocating lands to his family members.
In April 2025, six of his family members, including his brothers and sisters, were allocated lands in Guzape II, the report stated.
The beneficiaries included Vincent Ejike Wike, Chidi Sam Wike, Chituru Wike, Christian Ibebulachi Wike, Collins Ngeme Wike, and Emmanuel Okanwene Wike.
According to the report, Vincent Wike received a right of occupancy for 2,200 square metres in Guzape II under file number RV62586; Chidi Wike received a right of occupancy for 2,195 square metres in Guzape II under file number RV62598; Chituru Wike received a right of occupancy for 2,158 square metres in Guzape II under file number RV62599; Christian Wike received a right of occupancy for 2,178 square metres in Guzape II under file number RV62603; Collins Wike received a right of occupancy for 2,813 square metres in Guzape II under file number RV62604; and Emmanuel Wike received a right of occupancy for 2,716 square metres in Guzape II under file number RV62605.
Insiders told Peoples Gazette that Wike has been boasting about his contribution to Tinubu’s election and believes he is untouchable.
Aides said Wike would regularly boast about how he contributed significantly to getting Tinubu elected, a contribution the president would need again in 2027.
“He keeps reminding us of how he made heavy investment to help the president in 2023,” an official said. “He even said the president can’t do anything to him, and no judge in 2025 Nigeria would dare convict him of any stupid corruption.”
Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga asked The Gazette to direct questions about Mr Wike’s conduct to the minister’s media aides.
A spokesman for Mr Wike declined to comment for the story, but the minister has maintained no wrongdoing following previous revelations, falsely asserting that granting lands to his family members did not violate Nigerian laws, the report added.
