The World Is Watching: Tinubu Must Probe, Suspend FCT Minister Nyesom Wike Over US Property Scandal — Timi Frank

The World Is Watching: Tinubu Must Probe, Suspend FCT Minister Nyesom Wike Over US Property Scandal — Timi Frank

Nyesom Wike 

A Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has called on Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to suspend the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over allegations of acquiring properties in the United States under suspicious circumstances.

The  Ex-APC Spokesman who currently serves as Ambassador of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) to East Africa and the Middle East, made the appeal in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.


Frank said Tinubu must break his silence on the matter and demonstrate consistency in the fight against corruption, recalling how the President swiftly suspended former Humanitarian Affairs Minister, Betta Edu, over corruption allegations that were “far less serious” than those confronting Wike.


Media reports had alleged that Wike purchased property in Florida and registered them under the names of his wife, Justice Eberechi Wike, and their children, Joaquin, Jazmyne, and Jordan.


Frank described Tinubu’s silence on the matter despite “overwhelming evidence” in the public domain as troubling, adding that it sends a dangerous message that some officials are untouchable.


“With detailed reports from credible sources such as People's Gazette and SaharaReporters, and with glaring evidence ignored by anti-corruption agencies like EFCC and ICPC, it sends a dangerous message that some officials are untouchable,” Frank said.


He further warned that the impunity of government officials like Wike weakens citizens’ trust in governance and could fuel uprisings similar to the recent Nepal revolt.


Frank commended Omoyele Sowore of SaharaReporters, the publishers of People’s Gazette and others for “courageously exposing corruption in the country, irrespective of the government officials involved.”


He accused Tinubu of shielding Wike for political reasons ahead of the 2027 elections, warning that such selective justice would damage Nigeria’s global reputation and erode investor confidence.


“The reasons behind this continued inaction in the case of Wike appears to be tied to the political calculations surrounding the 2027 presidential elections.


“However, allowing political ambition to shield corruption will irreparably harm Nigeria’s reputation internationally.


“The world is watching, and this selective justice undermines investor confidence and portrays Nigeria as a nation unable or unwilling to fight corruption—even within its highest offices.”


Frank also criticised the President’s handling of the Rivers State political crisis, arguing that suspending Governor Siminalayi Fubara and House of Assembly members while leaving Wike untouched highlighted inconsistency and favoritism.


He urged Tinubu to immediately suspend Wike and commission an independent investigation into the allegations.


He said, “Furthermore, even when crises erupted in Rivers State, President Tinubu suspended only Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the House of Assembly members while leaving the Minister of FCT, Wike, untouched.


“This inconsistency fuels suspicions of favoritism and political shielding. Nigerians and the international community deserve to know why the President appears reluctant to confront alleged corruption linked to a close political ally.


“Selective enforcement of the law erodes national pride and makes Nigeria a laughing stock among peer nations, many of whom prosecute corruption allegations without hesitation.”


“The President should protect the dignity of Nigeria and the trust of its citizens by rejecting selective justice and political expediency. The integrity of Nigeria’s governance and its image on the global stage depend on it,” he added.


Omoyele Sowore had petitioned the Attorney General of Florida, Hon. James Uthmeier, seeking the forfeiture and prosecution of Wike over illicit property acquisitions in the United States.


In the petition dated September 22, 2025, and signed by his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, Esq., Sowore accused Wike of secretly purchasing multi-million-dollar real estate in Florida using suspicious cash transactions designed to conceal the source of funds.


According to the petition, Wike, alongside his wife, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike of Nigeria’s Court of Appeal, purchased three luxury lakeside properties in Winter Springs, Seminole County, Florida, valued at over $6 million.


The petition listed the properties as 113 Springcreek Lane, Winter Springs, FL 32708, which is a 5,000 sq. ft. residence purchased in cash for $535,000 and transferred to Jordan Wike (25); 209 Hertherwood Court, Winter Springs, FL 32708, which is a 3,401 sq. ft. home acquired for $459,157 in cash and transferred to Joaquin Wike (23); and 208 Hertherwood Court, Winter Springs, FL 32708, which is a 3,901 sq. ft. home bought for $465,000 in cash and transferred to Jazmyne Wike (20).


Sowore’s lawyers said the purchases were executed through quit claim deeds between July 2021 and September 2023 and transferred directly to Wike’s children. They argued that the cash-only acquisitions bypassed banking oversight and raised “serious money laundering concerns.”


Breach of Nigerian and U.S. Laws


The petition alleges that Wike failed to declare these foreign assets to Nigeria’s Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) as required under the Constitution.


It further noted that his legitimate income as a public servant since 1999 could not sustain such multi-million-dollar acquisitions.


The petition argued that the transactions violated both Florida state law and U.S. federal anti-money laundering statutes, specifically citing the Florida Money Laundering Act (Chapter 896.101, Fla. Stat.), the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act, and federal laws under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1956 and 1957.


It also referenced the U.S. Department of Justice Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, which targets assets linked to corrupt foreign officials. 


If it were to be in other climes, Wike would be sacked and probed with the speed of the light the moment he was accused of corruption. Nigeria is a country where laws are meant only for the poor, otherwise, Wike won't have the nerves to be granting interviews up and down after the weighty allegations made against him by Sowore. One thing is sure, one day, somebody somewhere is going to open these corrupt leaders' books for a thorough prosecution.

Nigeria's FCT Minister Nyesom Wike acquires up to 4 properties in Florida from proceeds of corruption, Sowore Tenders Evidence

Nigeria's FCT Minister Nyesom Wike acquires up to 4 properties in Florida from proceeds of corruption, Sowore Tenders Evidence

Wike, his wife and their three Children 

Rights activist Omoyele Sowore has made public evidences confirming that Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON, GSSRS, and his wife Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, a Court of Appeal judge, used "Quit Claim Deeds" to transfer three different Florida properties into the names of their children Jordan, Joaquim, and Jasmyne.


According to Sowore, these are the Quit Claim Deeds that Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON, GSSRS, and his wife Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, a Court of Appeal judge, used to transfer three different Florida properties into the names of their children Jordan, Joaquim, and Jasmyne. These transfers were done in 2023, but Mr. International Thief said he was not aware. With this discovery, it is now also clear that Wike has a fourth property in Florida at 113 Spring Creek Lane, Winter Springs, FL 32708.


This explains why Wike boasted on Channels Television that he “didn’t know” his wife and children owned mansions in the United States. But the international thief has now been caught in his own web of lies. By the way, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON, GSSRS was due for follow-up treatment for a new ailment and chest infection that recently kept him in London for two weeks, which he was going to do under the guise of attending the UN General Assembly with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu but yesterday the VP, Kashim Shettima was asked to lead the delegation with 7 other ministers, Wike decided to bail out and several state governors have also been told to stay back for now. There is no hiding place anymore.


EXPLAINER AS TO WHY Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON, GSSRS, AND HIS WIFE ARE USING A QUIT DEED TO TRANSFER THEIR LAUNDERED WEALTH TO THEIR THREE KIDS: 

A Quit Claim Deed is one of the simplest property transfer documents in U.S. real estate law. It allows one person, the grantor, to sign over whatever ownership interest they may have in a property to another person, the grantee. Crucially, it offers no guarantees the grantor makes no promise that the title is valid, clear, or even legitimate. In short, it transfers “whatever interest” the grantor has, nothing more.


Ordinarily, quit claim deeds are used for routine family transactions, a husband adding a wife to a title, parents transferring property to children, or heirs resolving paperwork after an inheritance. Because they bypass warranties and detailed title checks, they are cheap, quick, and often escape close scrutiny.


But this simplicity is exactly why kleptocrats love them. Corrupt officials exploit "quit claim deeds" to launder stolen wealth. By transferring properties into the names of wives, children, or other relatives, they hide their true ownership. On paper, the transactions appear to be ordinary family planning. In reality, they are deliberate strategies to conceal the original source of illicit funds. No public sale, no market-value exchange, no visible money trail, just the quiet concealment of corruption beneath harmless looking paperwork.


This is precisely what Wike has done. Properties in Florida, purchased with the proceeds of corruption, were quietly moved into the names of his wife, herself a senior judicial officer in Nigeria, and their children. The pattern is a textbook case of laundering stolen Nigerian wealth into U.S. real estate, using quit claim deeds as legal camouflage.


 Under U.S. law, such transactions amount to money laundering and trafficking in stolen property, serious crimes punishable under both state and federal statutes. They are also subject to asset seizure and forfeiture under the U.S. Department of Justice’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative.


Wike’s Florida deeds are the very trail of corruption, the very evidence that US prosecutors need to unravel his kleptocracy and reclaim assets stolen from the people of Nigeria.

BRICS summit in Brazil: Why Russian President Vladimir Putin will Be Absent




Russian President Vladimir Putin will not travel to next week's BRICS summit in Brazil. Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said on Wednesday.


Putin will not be traveling to Brazil following an outstanding arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court (ICC), 


In 2023, ICC issued the arrest warrant, just over a year after Russia launched its special military operation against NATO backed Ukraine. Russian President is accused of war crime for deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine.

Iran's Supreme Leader: 'The US strikes on our nuclear facilities did not cause significant damage'

Iran's Supreme Leader: 'The US strikes on our nuclear facilities did not cause significant damage'


'Washington entered the war to save Israel from collapse' 'The Israelis realized that despite their advanced defense systems, attacking Iran has an unbearable cost to them'

 My congratulations on our dear Iran’s victory over the US regime. 

The US regime entered the war directly because it felt that if it didn’t, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed.

 It entered the war in an effort to save that regime but achieved nothing.


Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Thursday declared victory over the United Stated and Israel during the recent Iranian-Israeli war that started when Tel Aviv struck Iran’s nuclear and military sites and assassinated top military leaders and key scientists on 13 June.

‘EXAGGERATING ATTACKS’ BY TRUMP 

In a speech posted by the official IRNA news agency, Khamenei commented on the recent US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, asserting that, while these attacks require legal prosecution before international courts, they “failed to achieve anything important.”

He stated that the US joined the war only when they felt that Israel would be completely annihilated if the Americans did not interfere.

The US regime “entered the war to save it (Israel) but they could not make any achievement during this war,” Khamenei said.

The Iranian supreme leader accused US President Donald Trump of “exaggeration” regarding the American achievement in hitting the Iranian nuclear sites, asserting that Iran has given “a strong slap” to the US.

‘IRAN WILL NEVER SURRENDER’

As Trump has called for “unconditional surrender” by Iran during the Israeli war, Khamenei said Iran “will never” surrender to the US.

“This person (Trump) has exposed this truth and demonstrated that America will not accept anything less than Iran's surrender,” Khamenei said.

“The Iranian people must realize that this is the essence of America's conflict with us, and that this great insult to the Iranian people is woven into the fabric of Americans' policies.”

“But such a thing will never happen.”

‘DOUBTS ABOUT US STRIKES’

Israel and Iran have committed to a ceasefire announced by Trump early on Tuesday less than two days after the US launched heavy strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites of Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan.

Trump dubbed the strike “very successful,” claiming that key enrichment facilities there were “totally and completely obliterated.”

Special Military Opinion to Continue As President Putin Labels Ukraine ‘Terrorists', Rejects Talks After Civilian Train Attacks!

Special Military Opinion to Continue As President Putin Labels Ukraine ‘Terrorists', Rejects Talks After Civilian Train Attacks!


The Russian special Military operation in Ukraine may continue until it achieve it objectives says President Vladimir Putin.


Russian president unleashed a scathing rebuke, accusing Ukraine of terrorism after the recent blowing up of civilian trains in the Bryansk and Kursk regions. 


“According to all international norms, such actions are called terrorism,” Putin declared, adding, “All the crimes committed against civilians on the eve of the negotiations were aimed at disrupting the peace process.”


President Putin cancelled further Negotiations as he signaled he’s done with diplomacy, stating, “How do we continue to negotiate with terrorists? Why should they be rewarded by suspending military actions?” This follows Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb, which targeted Russian airfields, and the deadly train attacks that killed at least seven and injured dozens, just before the Istanbul peace talks on Monday.


 Trump Weighs In:

After a phone call with Putin earlier on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump revealed, “President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.” Trump called the conversation “good” but admitted it won’t lead to “immediate peace,” casting doubt on his ceasefire push.


What’s Really Happening?

Putin’s refusal to negotiate raises questions about his true intentions—does he want peace, or is this a pretext to intensify the war? Ukraine claims the railway attacks target Russian military logistics, but the civilian toll has fueled Putin’s narrative. Meanwhile, Trump’s reluctance to impose sanctions, despite his envoy’s efforts, suggests he’s wary of alienating Putin. Is the U.S. being played, or is Trump holding back for a bigger deal?


Truth be told ,  Russian military might and Hypersonic missile technology is second to non.


The American led NATO have no other options on the table other to negotiate with Russia to end the war in Ukraine.


It is critically obvious that neither more weapons deployment to battlefield in support of Ukraine nor further sanctions can deter Russia from the special Military operation in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine is a patriotic war to safeguard the national security of the Russia federation from further encroachment and encircling of Russia by NATO 


What do you think?


The Russian special Military operation in Ukraine may continue until it achieve it objectives says President Vladimir Putin.


Russian president unleashed a scathing rebuke, accusing Ukraine of terrorism after the recent blowing up of civilian trains in the Bryansk and Kursk regions. 


“According to all international norms, such actions are called terrorism,” Putin declared, adding, “All the crimes committed against civilians on the eve of the negotiations were aimed at disrupting the peace process.”


President Putin cancelled further Negotiations as he signaled he’s done with diplomacy, stating, “How do we continue to negotiate with terrorists? Why should they be rewarded by suspending military actions?” This follows Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb, which targeted Russian airfields, and the deadly train attacks that killed at least seven and injured dozens, just before the Istanbul peace talks on Monday.


 Trump Weighs In:

After a phone call with Putin earlier on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump revealed, “President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.” Trump called the conversation “good” but admitted it won’t lead to “immediate peace,” casting doubt on his ceasefire push.


What’s Really Happening?

Putin’s refusal to negotiate raises questions about his true intentions—does he want peace, or is this a pretext to intensify the war? Ukraine claims the railway attacks target Russian military logistics, but the civilian toll has fueled Putin’s narrative. Meanwhile, Trump’s reluctance to impose sanctions, despite his envoy’s efforts, suggests he’s wary of alienating Putin. Is the U.S. being played, or is Trump holding back for a bigger deal?

US President, Donald Trump is reportedly ready to accept any election outcome in Ukraine, including the possibility of a pro-Russian candidate being elected.


It should be noted that deceptions and Hippocracies of the former US President Joe Biden and other NATO leaders in their determination to weakened and defeat Russia on the battle fields kept the war till now as Russia claimed was always opened to negotiations.

Africa: A Reflection on Leadership, National Pride, and Self-Reliance by High Chief Joe Daniels Umezulike

Africa: A Reflection on Leadership, National Pride, and Self-Reliance by High Chief Joe Daniels Umezulike


President Donald Trump's executive order to remove illegal immigrants is a decisive move that underscores his commitment to securing the United States' borders and protecting the nation's sovereignty. This policy aligns with his broader vision to "Make America Great Again," focusing on national security, economic stability, and the protection of American jobs and resources. By enforcing immigration laws and prioritizing legal entry into the country, Trump demonstrated strong leadership rooted in the principle of safeguarding national interests.


This approach offers critical lessons for leaders around the world, particularly in Africa. African leaders must reflect on the importance of prioritizing their nations' development, security, and self-reliance. One striking contrast is the tendency of many African leaders to send their children abroad for education, healthcare, and other essential services. This practice inadvertently signals a lack of confidence in their own countries' institutions.


Instead of outsourcing the future of their children and, by extension, their nations, African leaders should channel resources into improving local educational systems, healthcare facilities, and economic structures. The goal should be to build institutions that inspire national pride, foster innovation, and create opportunities for all citizens. Strong local institutions not only reduce the dependency on foreign nations but also curb the persistent issue of brain drain, where Africa's brightest minds leave to contribute to the growth of other countries.


Moreover, just as Trump’s policies were designed to secure America's future, African leaders must be bold in enacting policies that put their people first. This includes investing in infrastructure, creating jobs, enhancing security, and eradicating corruption. Leadership is not about convenience or popularity; it is about making tough decisions that benefit the nation in the long run.


Ultimately, the essence of leadership lies in the courage to prioritize national interests above all else. African leaders should draw inspiration from the principles of self-reliance, national pride, and strong governance. By doing so, they can build nations where citizens thrive, institutions flourish, and the future is secure—not just for a privileged few, but for every citizen.


One major problem with Nigerian political leaders is timidity. Many of them are not in tune with modern civilization; they still believe in a winner-takes-all mentality..


Nigerian political leaders need to wake up and face reality. 90% of them are living in the past and cannot adapt to the present.


The only constant in life is change, and if you are not an agent of change, you have already failed.

US Donald Trump - I love Putin, I’m not looking to hurt Russia, Russia helped us win the Second World War,

US Donald Trump - I love Putin, I’m not looking to hurt Russia, Russia helped us win the Second World War,

 

With the change of batton in Pentagon, Ukraine has only one option on the table, "negotiate with Russia".


U.S President, Donald Trump has expressed his desires to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.


Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, he said that by pushing to settle the war he was doing Russia and its president a "very big favour".

American leader had previously said he would negotiate a settlement to Russia's full-scale invasion launched in February 2022, in a single day.


Russia has not yet responded to the remarks, but senior officials have said in recent days that there is a small window of opportunity for Moscow to deal with the new US administration. However, President Vladimir Putin has said repeatedly that he is prepared to negotiate an end to the war, which first began in 2014, but that Ukraine would have to accept the reality of Russian territorial gains, which are currently about 20% of its land. He also refuses to allow Ukraine to join Nato.


Kyiv does not want to give up its territory, although President Volodymyr Zelensky has conceded he may have to cede some currently occupied land temporarily.


On Tuesday Trump told a news conference he would be talking to Putin "very soon" 

But in his Truth Social post on Wednesday, he went further: "I'm going to do Russia, whose Economy is failing, and President Putin, a very big FAVOR," he wrote.


"Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. If we don't make a 'deal', and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries."


Continuing, he said: "Let's get this war, which never would have started if I were President, over with! We can do it the easy way, or the hard way - and the easy way is always better. It's time to "MAKE A DEAL"."


Russia's deputy UN ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy earlier told Reuters news agency that the Kremlin would need to know what Trump wants in a deal to stop the war before the country moves forward.


Meanwhile Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the World Economic Forum on Tuesday that at least 200,000 peacekeepers would be needed under any agreement.


And he told Bloomberg that any peacekeeping force for his country would have to include US troops to pose a realistic deterrent to Russia.


"It can't be without the United States... Even if some European friends think it can be, no it will not be," he said, adding that no-one else would risk such a move without the US.


While Ukraine's leaders might appreciate this tougher-talking Trump - they have always said Putin only understands strength - the initial reaction in Kyiv to the US president's comments suggest that it is actions people are waiting for, not words.
