| Tinubu/Wike |
The human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has said the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike must be held accountable under U.S. law if he follows Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the UN General Assembly in New York.
According to Sowore, if Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON, GSSRS follows Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the United Nations General Assembly, he must be arrested to face Florida’s money laundering charges as well as federal indictments for money laundering and asset trafficking.
His money laundering schemes would fall under the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, a program of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) designed to combat corruption by foreign public officials, recover the proceeds of foreign bribery and theft laundered into or through the United States, and return stolen assets to the citizens of the countries from which they were taken.
Wike’s Florida mansions, hidden under his wife’s Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike and children’s names, are textbook examples of laundering proceeds of crime. These properties should be seized, and Wike himself should face indictment under both Florida’s anti-money laundering statutes and U.S. federal law.
Earlier, Omoyele Sowore had accused the Minister of FCT Nyesom Wike, of threatening an Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) official during a by-election in 2016.
Sowore made the claim in a post on X (formerly Twitter), where he shared an old audio recording said to capture Wike making the threats.
He described Wike as “a killer, drunkard, and land thief,” and alleged that the minister bribed INEC officials to rig the election in his favor. He also said Wike threatened to kill those officials if they refused.
Sowore further alleged that Wike recently threatened to assassinate him on behalf of President Bola Tinubu. According to him, “Wike has killed many people, stolen a lot, and escaped justice for too long.”
