Lies From Quack Journalists" - Lere Olayinka Debunks Claim of Land Allocation to Wike's Son by Okwo romeon Abuja

Nysome Wike
Honorable Minister of F.C.T

"It is another falsehood from the vault of those whose main job is to malign the FCT Minister," says Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.


Olayinka was reacting to a publication claiming that the Minister allocated 2,082 hectares of land to one of his sons in Maitama and Asokoro. He described the claim as "malicious and bitterness painted publication" and challenged the online publisher to provide evidence of any land allocation bearing the name of any of the Minister's children.


"Not even a single plot of land has been allocated to any of the Minister's children," Olayinka stated. "In Asokoro and Maitama of today, where can the FCT Minister see 2,082 hectares of land to allocate to anyone? Only quack journalists will go to town with a story of allocation of 2,082 hectares of land in Asokoro and Maitama."


Olayinka explained that the publication relied on a Right of Occupancy (R-of-O) issued to JOAQ Farms and Estate Limited, for agricultural purposes, as evidence. However, he clarified that the company, which is duly registered in Nigeria, got land allocation in Bwari Area Council for farming purposes.


"So, what's wrong with a farmer getting land allocation strictly for the purpose of agriculture?" Olayinka asked. "Is it not the duty of the FCT Minister to allocate land for agricultural purposes to boost food production in the country?"


Olayinka further stated that the publication was a clear example of "fake news" and "yellow journalism" aimed at tarnishing the image of the FCT Minister. He called on the public to disregard the publication and to always verify information before accepting it as true.


"The FCT Minister is committed to transparency and accountability in the allocation of land in the FCT," Olayinka said. "We will continue to work hard to ensure that the FCT remains a model of excellence in land administration and management."


In conclusion, Olayinka reiterated that the claim of land allocation to Wike's son was false and should be disregarded. He urged the public to be cautious of fake news and to always verify information before accepting it as true.
