River Park Estate: Wike Misinformed About Ownership – Stakeholder

Amid the ongoing legal battle over the ownership of the River Park Estate in Abuja, the head of Compliance Frank Johnson has disclosed that the minister of the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Nyesom Wike, was misinformed about the true state of affairs regarding the ownership of the estate.

He said that the minister was given a wrong narrative by the committee he set up which denied them a fair hearing.

In an interactive session with a cross-section of the media yesterday, Jonhson (the head Compliance in the Estate), gave a detailed explanation with backup documents which predate the incorporation of the company in 2004, countering the Ghanaian narrative that Samuel Jonah is the majority shareholder of River Park Estate.

“No, what we are saying is that he has been misinformed. We want the public themselves to understand the truth behind all of these issues. And what we are saying is that the minister was misinformed regarding some of the actions that have been taken. And if only they have listened to all the parties, these injustices would never happen.

“Number one, due process was not followed in the build-up to the report he is acting on. The due process was not followed, and the only way to remedy that is to let the right things be done by allowing due process to take place.

“And when I say due process, we need to see the petition, we need to be able to respond to every allegation made against us.

Another thing they have said is that the development lease agreement has expired. Well, it hasn’t, because the last approval that was given to us, that agreement expired seven years after the last approval.

” We have approval as of 2023. How can it then expire in 2025? So these are all issues that need to be looked into. So what we are saying, and why I’m actually being cautious about this is, this matter is already in court. Its why I’m a bit cautious in addressing that part.”
