<p>The Northern Youth Assembly (NYA), a coalition of progressive youth voices across the 19 Northern States, condemned the recent public altercation involving the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and a young military officer in Abuja. The group described the incident as “uncivil and disgusting,” asserting that Wike’s conduct reflects a troubling pattern of arrogance and abuse of power.</p><div class="48NhsifO" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The confrontation, which occurred during an enforcement exercise in Abuja, was captured in a viral video showing Wike in a heated exchange with uniformed soldiers guarding a disputed plot of land. According to reports by Daily Post, the Minister lashed out at one of the officers, saying, “Shut up! Keep quiet! You are a fool. As at the time I graduated, you were still in…”. The NYA argued that such public humiliation of a law-abiding officer is unethical and a direct affront to the values of public service and leadership expected under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.</p><div class="gYC0jaG9" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>In their statement, jointly signed by Dr. Ali Mohammed (President) and Dr. Abdulhafiz Garba (Secretary General), the NYA emphasized that this incident is not isolated. They cited multiple allegations against Wike, including persistent verbal intimidation of subordinates and contractors, politicization of administrative matters for personal vendetta, and confrontational outbursts against political stakeholders. These behaviors, they claim, have consistently tarnished the image of the federal government.</p>

<p>The group also raised concerns about transparency in recent demolitions and property allocations within the FCT, suggesting that Wike’s leadership has eroded public trust. “Leadership in 21st-century Nigeria must reflect maturity, restraint, and respect for due process,” the NYA stated, adding that Wike’s actions undermine democratic principles and disrespect uniformed institutions.</p>
<p>Calling for immediate action, the NYA urged President Tinubu to review Wike’s continued tenure as FCT Minister. They argued that his removal would signal a commitment to accountability and a rejection of impunity in public office. “Nigeria deserves leaders who uplift institutions, not those who embarrass them; who inspire the youth, not those who intimidate them,” the statement concluded.</p>
