Demolition Threats: Begin From Aso Rock, Military Barracks, Bwala Mocks Wike

Daniel Bwala, a spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council in the 2023 elections, mocked Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over his threat to demolish buildings distorting the Abuja Master Plan.

Bwala, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, argued that if the original Master Plan of the FCT must be followed, then Aso Rock Presidential Villa and military barracks must be demolished as well.

“He (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 building in strategic places that are not in the original Master Plan,” Bwala said.
