LAND REVOCATION: SPEAKER ABBAS NOT OWING FCTA-AIDE. (PHOTO).


Speaker Abbas' aide has come out to clarify that the Speaker does not owe the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) any debts, contrary to reports that led to the revocation of his land allocation. 


This development comes after Minister Nyesom Wike revoked plots belonging to several prominent Nigerians, including Abbas, for allegedly failing to pay for their Certificates of Occupancy. 


The aide's statement suggests that Abbas may have been unfairly targeted in the revocation process.


Reacting to the development in a statement on Friday, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Speaker, Musa Krishi, noted that Abbas has only one land allocated to him in the FCT and has since settled all payments.


He said that it an error for the FCTA to include Abbas’ name among those having outstanding payments, leading to the revocation of the land titles.


The Speaker’s aide advised the FCTA to be more circumspect in handling such issues.


The statement reads, “The attention of the Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, Ph.D, GCON, has been drawn to reports in both the print and electronic media to the effect that the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) revoked land titles in the FCT, belonging to certain individuals, including the Speaker, due to non-settlement of outstanding payments.


“For the record, His Excellency, Speaker Abbas Tajudeen, Ph.D, GCON, has only one land allocated to him in the FCT, and has since settled his outstanding payment in October 2024, following the FCTA’s newspapers’ publications to that effect.


“It is, therefore, an error for the FCTA to include his name among those having outstanding payments, leading to the revocation of the land titles. The FCTA is advised to be more circumspect in handling such issues.


“The Speaker cautions the media to always verify their facts before going to press with such issues.


“The media are, therefore, urged to desist from further publishing or spreading such misleading information about the person of the Speaker.”
