Lere Olayinka, the spokesperson for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has fired back at Senator Ireti Kingibe for her criticism of the ongoing enforcement of ground rent payments by the FCT Administration.
Senator Kingibe, who represents the FCT in the Senate under the Labour Party, had described the sealing of defaulting properties by the FCTA as unconstitutional. In a statement, she acknowledged the importance of tax compliance but argued that failure to pay ground rent does not justify what she termed the arbitrary seizure of property.
