Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has stated that he is not prohibited by law from owning property in the United States, while dismissing allegations made by activist Omoyele Sowore.
Addressing journalists during his monthly media briefing in Abuja on Monday, Wike warned against the spread of unfounded claims about public officials.
He said: “Sowore comes and sells all kinds of stories to you. Up till now why hasn’t he talked about the houses he claims I have in Florida?
“Where is it till today? Those are the kind of people you say are human rights activists.
“You can’t begin to peddle rumours against government officials, it’s not correct. There is no law that says I shouldn’t own a house anywhere. However, I don’t have a house there.”
