Ground Rents: I Derive Joy Stepping On Big People’s Toes — Wike

The Minister, Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Monday, said he derives joy from stepping on the toes of big people in the country.

Wike said this while dismissing a possible backlash from a section of the elite regarding his enforcement of rules regarding ground rent payments during a press briefing in Abuja.

He stressed that the elite should go to other countries and see how modern societies are run, but that some of them come back to Nigeria and refuse to follow simple laws.

He said the era of impunity when a section of the elite felt they could trample on laws and nothing would happen was over, declaring that “something will happen”.
