Abuja Master Plan: Why Wike must demolish Aso Villa – Bwala

Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council in the 2023 elections, Daniel Bwala, has called on the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike to begin his plan of demolishing buildings that are not in the original Master Plan of Abuja from Aso Villa.

Bawa said this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, August 31.

According to Bawa, should Wike decide to follow the original Master Plan of the FCT, the residence and some other government assets must be demolished.

“The FCT is not like the Ministry of Works; it is an Administration. There are many more important things than demolition that make up the Administration of the FCT,” Bwala said.

“Let’s even start with the demolition. He (Wike) said he wants to go back to the original Master Plan. If we 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 buildings in strategic places that are not in the original Master Plan,” he said.

Bawa’s comment comes after Wike threatened to demolish some structures in the nation’s capital when he was sworn-in as Minister by President Bola Tinubu.
