A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, hass aid President Bola Tinubu has shown that he's the boss of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

This was after Tinubu directed and halt to the sealing of the PDP headquarters in Abuja by the FCTA over the party's failure to pay ground rent.

MyNigeria reported that the FCTA proceeded to seal the building on Monday on Wike's orders.

However, the action was cut short after Tinubu issued a directive that gave the PDP a two-week ultimatum to pay its debt.

Reacting, Momodu said on Instagram, "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 favour.

Momodu criticised Wike’s approach as vindictive and disruptive, accusing the FCT Minister of wielding power as though he were not answerable to anyone.

The PDP stalwart also used the opportunity to call on President Tinubu to rein in Wike’s political activities in Rivers State, where Wike has been locked in a prolonged power struggle with Governor Sim Fubara.

He added, “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.”
