In a shocking revelation, the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has threatened to publicly disgrace Aisha Buhari and her children if they fail to settle their massive debt in ground rents that is estimated to be over N30 billion. The release of an official list indicates that Mrs. Aisha, her children, and around 40 other individuals are the defaulters who owe the Federal Capital Territory such a staggering amount.
As the controversy unfolds, it becomes clear that Aisha Buhari and her children have not made payments for the ground rents on their various properties located in Abuja. These properties were initially seized by the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), and it is disheartening to note that the former First Lady and her children have acquired most of them without any financial obligation.
The list released by the FCT Minister brings into light the extent of the debt, not only concerning Mrs. Aisha and her children but also regarding many others who similarly owe significant amounts in ground rent. The total figure owed by the defaulters, which stands at around N40 billion, underscores the magnitude of the issue and highlights the urgent need for prompt settlement.
Nyesom Wike, known for his no-nonsense approach to governance, has vowed to take decisive actions should the defaulters fail to pay up. Among these actions is the threat to revoke the lands and properties owned by Aisha Buhari and her children, leaving them at risk of losing what they acquired through questionable means.
This revelation has ignited a heated debate among Nigerians, with many expressing their displeasure over the seemingly preferential treatment given to certain individuals, enabling them to evade their financial responsibilities. The public has raised concerns about the potential misuse of power to obtain properties without fulfilling necessary obligations, which they argue undermines the principles of transparency and accountability.
As the situation unfolds, it remains uncertain whether Aisha Buhari and her children will settle their long-overdue ground rents or face the consequences of losing their properties. Nigerians eagerly wait for an outcome that affirms the rule of law, ensures equal treatment for all citizens, and upholds the integrity of the country’s financial system.
