FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has challenged residents to come forward and identify themselves if their properties were demolished without compensation, insisting that the current administration would not yield to blackmail.
Wike issued the challenge on Wednesday during the commissioning of Arterial Road, stating that the administration of President Bola Tinubu would stand firm against any attempt at blackmail.
"If you say you have property and it was demolished and you were not paid, come and say so. I challenge anybody," he said.
"If you want any help from me that you think we should do, come properly and I will do it for you. But if it is by carrying blackmail, no way, it does not work.
This government cannot fall for any blackmail. We must stand firm, and we are firm to do what we think is right," he added.
