Return ICC mgt to Messrs Integrated Facility Management Services Ltd, Developer tells Wike

…warns Tinubu of the looming dangers of Wike’s rascality

A patriotic Nigerian, Dominic Albert has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to call on Nyesom Wike to order and curtail many of his excesses as the FCT Minister.

Albert a property developer and an Indigene of River State said the behavior of Wike in recent times in managing the affairs of FCT is violating the laid down rules and breaking down the Nigerian constitution.

Albert accused Wike of being a sycophant and hypocrite, politicking the office for political vendetta and settling scores with political opponents.

According to him the illegal withdrawal of the contract between those that manage International Conference Center Abuja, part of Abuja Investment Company Limited (AICL), and the federal government in recent times is a pure show of lawless decision that a Man of his worth should not exhibit.

He Worried how a company, Messrs Integrated Facility Management Services Ltd that has entered a leasing agreement with the federal government to manage part of the International Conference Center (ICC) was illegally disengaged without following due process.

He said the contract revocation was carried out to settle political differences rather than working on the overall interest of the general public.

Albert revealed that the appointment of Amb (Dr) Maureen Tamuno as the new MD of AICL is to fight Governor Fubara and used the former Nigerian High Commissioner to Jamaica, Belize, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic to chase out the former MD because is not in his good books of records.

He said the handing over of ICC to Messrs Julius Berger Nig Plc to Carry out comprehensive renovation of the International Conference Center is nothing than a brazing show of wickedness against the loyal members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) which is having most of its members as competent contractors to equally do a perfect job.

Albert called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to checkmate the excesses of Wike, his actions are tantamount to destroying Nigerians, especially those who sacrificed their life, and their resources in bringing in the current government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He foretold the Political downfall of the River State’s former Governor and described him as a destiny destroyer who arrogates himself undue power of a demagogue with a sooner possible disgrace because is getting on the Nerves of so many Nigerians.

“”As a matter of urgency, I’m calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove Wike from being the minister of FCT. Is causing more harm than good as it’s presumed.

“What is doing is more of creating a crisis by fighting his perceived enemies and empowering his own political stooges in preparation for the 2027 election. I don’t think is working for the interest of Tinubu. Tinubu should be more careful with him, I’m seeing a serious political fight between the two of them. The Wike-led faction will certainly fight him. It’s on record Wike is a betrayer and an ambitious politician who wants to rule by all means.

” The land revocation and destruction of people’s properties in Abuja, if you check it well they are all a plan to fight some people penned down as his enemies,” Albert said

He said as a matter of fairness let the management of ICC be returned to Messrs Integrated Facility Management Services Ltd because the terms of the agreement have not yet relapsed.

“I know the company very well, they have been managing ICC perfectly and no cause for alarm until the unwise decision Wike took last weekend.” He said
