“Where is your ID card ? Show me your ID card! Why are you working with these police officers and still stopping vehicles on the road?
Man confronts a man working with police officers on the road wearing Ankara without an ID CARD💔💔
😂The officer said,My integrity is intact! and Nigerians everywhere nodded like, Ah yes, that’s something our politicians only see in the dictionary. At this point, the officer’s integrity deserves national protection, it’s officially an endangered species in Nigerian politics.
Minister Wike needs to remember that leadership isn’t about shouting or flexing power, it’s about fairness and the rule of law. Many Nigerians believe his alleged actions on land matters in the FCT show bias and intimidation rather than due process. Abuja isn’t personal property.
Police: “We’re here to support the minister.”
Officer: “Support him from there.”
Abuja: “I didn’t know land disputes come with ranks now.” 😅

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as Commander-in-Chief, should urgently look into this matter before it gets out of hand. Both civil and military authorities must respect the rule of law and set an example for the nation.

The recent clash between the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and officers of the Nigerian Armed Forces over a disputed land in Abuja exposes deeper issues of governance and institutional discipline.

It’s also worth noting that Wike himself has faced allegations of land grabbing and selective demolition across the FCT, which makes this incident even more sensitive and raises public concerns about fairness and transparency in land administration.
What stood out, however, was the calm and confidence of the military team lead — he maintained composure and discipline in a tense situation that could have easily escalated further. That restraint deserves acknowledgment.
While Minister Wike was wrong to have allegedly tried to intimidate or verbally insult a senior officer during the confrontation, the Armed Forces were equally wrong to stand against constituted civil authority.
Wike was wrong to intimidate an officer. The Army was wrong to defy civil authority. Both sides missed the rule of law. The President must act before this clash between power and uniform gets out of hand. 🇳🇬
