The former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, on Thursday, appealed to President Bola Tinubu not to overlook the allegations regarding property ownership in the United States linked to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Wike.
Frank made this call in a statement issued on Thursday.
There are allegations that Wike acquired property in Florida and registered it under the names of his wife and children.
Responding to the issue, Timi Frank described Tinubu’s silence concerning the allegation against Wike as disturbing.
"With detailed reports from credible sources such as People’s Gazette and Sahara Reporters, and with glaring evidence ignored by anti-corruption agencies like EFCC and ICPC, it sends a dangerous message that some officials are untouchable," he lamented.
He advised the President to understand that the perceived impunity and arrogance of officials such as Wike undermine public confidence in leadership and could lead to public unrest similar to the Nepal uprising.
"The reasons behind this continued inaction in the case are that Wike appears tied to the political calculations surrounding the 2027 presidential elections.
"However, allowing political ambition to shield corruption will irreparably harm Nigeria’s reputation internationally.
"The President should protect the dignity of Nigeria and the trust of its citizens by rejecting selective justice and political expediency. The integrity of Nigeria’s governance and its image on the global stage depend on it," he stated.
It is worth noting that Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, had previously dismissed the allegations.
