Dele Momodu, a famous publisher, has spoken about President Tinubu’s recent decision to stop the sealing of some properties in Abuja. These properties were sealed because the owners did not pay their ground rent.
On Monday, May 26, the Federal Capital Territory Authority (FCTA), led by Minister Nyesom Wike, closed several business places. These included banks, gas stations, the office of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), and the national office of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). They were shut down because the owners owed billions of Naira in unpaid ground rent.
After many property owners complained, President Tinubu ordered that the sealing should be stopped for now. He gave those who owe money 14 days to pay what they owe.
Dele Momodu shared his thoughts on Instagram. He said that President Tinubu’s move shows he is the real boss of the country. Before this, many people thought Nigeria had two leaders—Tinubu and Wike. But now it is clear that Tinubu is the one in charge and that he can control what Wike does.
This event shows that the President is serious about running the government and making sure things are done properly. It also shows that Wike, as a minister, must follow the rules set by the President.

‘’THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TINUBU…
Your Excellency, good evening Sir. I have just read the news here in America that you have stepped into the matter of your cantankerous Minister of FCT, MR NYESOM WIKE who sealed the National Secretariat of the PDP, the biggest rival of your ruling party, APC, and properties of other defaulters in Abuja earlier today. While no one should condone non-compliance of government obligations, government must always restrain itself from vindictive outbursts such as that of Nigeria’s most querulous politician who I’m sure is fast becoming a liability to your government. The decision to stop Wike today achieved several points in your favor.
We used to think we have two Presidents in Nigeria, TINUBU and WIKE. Now, we know WIKE has a Boss who can checkmate his excesses. How I wished you had stopped his reckless disruption and distraction of the SIM FUBARA government in Rivers State and saved the hapless people from this unfortunate contraption called emergency rule.
Nigerians are currently going through so much hardship and pain and you need to rescue them from WIKE’s additional burden and insults. WIKE’s assignments are far smaller than that of Minister DAVE UMAHI, yet the man is so humble while WIKE subjects Nigerians to his tautological press conferences as if he’s running his own Federal government and not under anyone’s control.
Sir, there can’t be two Captains in one ship and I hope WIKE got that message loud and clear from your powerful intervention today…
