Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that he revoked the land of former Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha.<\/p>\n

Wike warned that the FCT Administration under his leadership will repossess any land where the owners fail to pay their land rent.<\/p>\n

He disclosed this during the 60th birthday of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, in Abuja over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Anyanwu had celebrated his birthday at the newly renovated Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, the Minister assured property owners of getting the best services if they pay their ground rent.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cRochas Okorocha is here, he is my boss, even though I revoked his land because the right thing must be done, he is my man.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenators are here, Ikpeazu, my colleagues are here, yes, if you don\u2019t pay, I will take back our property.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at what Julius Berger did here, is it by empty hand? It is not by money?<\/p>\n

\u201cPay and you will get the best services, and you are getting the best services under the leadership of Tinubu. I have no apologies because I\u2019m the one here.\u201d<\/p>\n
