“Abuja has an existing master plan, If you want to build or procure land, you should inquiry to know if that place has been marked for a commercial purpose or a private building.
“When you abuse the processes and erect structures in illegal areas. And the minister discovers that a particular hotel, building or estate or whatever is not supposed to be sighted there, what do you expect him to do? To start compensating people before demolishing?
“He will go ahead and demolish them. I support every demolition that Wike has done so far and what he is going to do in the future.”
Wike has come to fix Abuja
Okoye said Wike was made the FCT minister to fix Abuja and should be supported by all.
He added that Nigeria needs to be fixed and the people must endeavour to always do the right things.
“We need to fix this country and we must make sure we do things right for us to fix it. I do not support evil or illegality, building on land where you are not supposed to build. Wike has come to fix Abuja, we must give him that support.
He added:
“If El-rufai did not do it the way he did when he was a minister, we would not be remembering him today. Everybody who talks about FCT ministers will remember El-Rufai but all the people who succeeded El-Rufai are not remembered so Wike will be a better El-Rufai so let’s give him that support.”
