PANDEF Seeks Wike’s Intervention in Land Dispute Over Late Col. Paul Ogbebor’s Estate


The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) has called on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Chief Nyesom Wike, to intervene in the ongoing land dispute concerning a property previously allocated to the late Colonel Paul Ogbebor, a respected Nigerian nationalist and military figure. The revocation of the land allocated to Ogbebor, who passed away recently, has sparked widespread media attention, raising concerns over the handling of the property.


Ogbebor, the first Nigerian to enroll in the Nigerian Defence Academy’s Cadet Course 1, was known for his distinguished military service both in Nigeria and abroad. He was also a founding member of PANDEF, which credits his contributions to its successes in advocating for the Niger Delta region.


In a statement signed by Chief Dr. Obiuwevbi Ominimini, PANDEF’s National Spokesman, the forum urged Minister Wike to take action to safeguard Ogbebor’s legacy. PANDEF called on him to demonstrate statesmanship by halting the reallocation of the estate and ensuring that the late hero’s contributions to the nation are respected. The statement highlighted the need to preserve the dignity of Nigerian heroes and protect their legacies in national matters.
