Wike accused of picking sides in River Park land tussle

A dispute over a major Abuja estate continues to escalate, with a Nigerian investor directly accusing the federal capital minister of bias. Adeniran Ogunmuyiwa, who says he owns Jonah Capital Nigeria Limited, claims Nyesom Wike is favoring a group of Ghanaian interests led by Kojo Mensah. Ogunmuyiwa issued a statement suggesting the minister's conduct undermines his declared neutrality in the matter.

The investor referenced a recent national television broadcast where Wike publicly identified Ghanaian businessman Sir Sam Esson Jonah as the controller of the company holding rights to the five hundred hectare River Park Estate. Ogunmuyiwa argued that this statement conflicts with reports from official Nigerian bodies like the Corporate Affairs Commission and the police. He also mentioned findings from a committee supposedly established by the minister's own office. Ogunmuyiwa, questioning Wike's role as a trained lawyer, asked whether the minister is acting as an impartial official or as a participant with a stake in the outcome.
