Demolish Aso villa, military barracks – Atiku’s aide tells Wike
As he begins efforts to ensure adherence to the Abuja master plan, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has been urged to demolish Aso Rock and military barracks within the capital city.
An aide to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, 2023
presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Daniel Bwala, made the call on Channels
Television’s Politics Today.
Bwala explained that Aso Rock and some military barracks
must be demolished if the original Abuja master plan must be adhered to.
He said Wike should focus on other important things other
than pulling down buildings.
“The FCT is not like the Ministry of Works; it is an
Administration. There are many more important things than demolition that make
up the Administration of the FCT.
“Let’s even start with the demolition. Wike said he wants to
go back to the original Master Plan. If we may talk about the original Master
Plan, let me tell you that the Aso Villa that sits the President, the seat of
power is not in the original Master Plan, it must go down.
“Secondly, all the military barracks that you see within the
FCT are not in the original Master Plan; then the military barracks must go
down.
“Thirdly, the famous Asokoro you are hearing and the extension
where all the governors in Nigeria either have liaison offices or their private
homes, they are not in the original plan, they must go down. There are many
Federal Government assets and buildings in strategic places that are not in the
original Master Plan.”
Following his resumption as FCT Minister, Wike had
threatened to demolish buildings illegally erected.
