AAC Demands Wike’s Removal as FCT Minister Over $2 Million U.S. Mansion and Alleged Land Grabs.

In a bold move that has ignited fresh controversy in Nigeria’s political space, the African Action Congress (AAC) has demanded the immediate removal of Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), over allegations of corruption, illicit enrichment, and land grabbing.

AAC ACCUSES WIKE OF “SHAMELESS ABUSE OF OFFICE”

The AAC’s FCT chapter, led by its chairman Agena Robert Ande, released a strongly worded statement alleging that Wike has been leveraging his ministerial powers to enrich himself and his family. According to the party, the minister is involved in multiple cases of secret land allocations in Abuja, intimidation of business owners, and the controversial purchase of a luxury $2 million mansion in the United States, reportedly bought under the names of his wife and children.

THE $2 MILLION MANSION ALLEGATION

Central to the AAC’s demand is the revelation that Wike allegedly acquired a $2 million mansion in Florida, USA in March 2025. Documents reportedly obtained from U.S. property records and published by Sahara Reporters show that the purchase was carried out under the names of his wife and children.

FAMILY LAND ALLOCATIONS AND ALLEGED NEPOTISM

The AAC also accused Wike of allocating prime Abuja lands to members of his family. One controversial case cited is the alleged allocation of a N400 million plot in Guzape II to his 90-year-old father. Other plots are said to have gone to close associates, further fueling accusations of nepotism and conflict of interest.—

INTIMIDATION AND POLITICAL MANIPULATION CLAIMS

Beyond financial allegations, the AAC raised the alarm about what it described as Wike’s use of intimidation tactics to influence political outcomes. According to the group, business owners in Abuja have faced threats of land seizures unless they openly supported candidates favored by Wike ahead of the upcoming council elections.—

WHY THE ALLEGATIONS MATTER

For many Nigerians, these allegations cut deep into the issues of governance and accountability. Abuja, as the capital city, holds symbolic importance for fairness and transparency. If proven true, the allegations would point to systemic abuse of power and raise doubts about the government’s commitment to fighting corruption.—

WIKE YET TO RESPOND

As of the time of filing this report, Nyesom Wike has not issued any official statement in response to the AAC’s allegations. The FCT Minister’s office has remained silent despite growing calls for clarification.—

DOCUNEWS CENTRAL’S TAKE

At DocuNews Central, we emphasize that while the allegations are serious and backed by documents cited by Sahara Reporters, they remain claims from the AAC and investigative reports from one outlet. Independent verification from government agencies or anti-graft bodies has not yet been made public.-

—WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

The AAC has vowed to intensify pressure until Wike is removed from office and investigated.

Civil society groups are expected to weigh in, while opposition parties may seize on the controversy to challenge the government.Whether this will lead to official probes by agencies such as the EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) remains to be seen.

For now, Nigerians are left watching closely as the drama unfolds at the highest levels of governance.—
