"This particular soldier was specifically chosen for this mission by those who sent him, and he delivered excellently. In the first slide, Wike was seen speaking with the CDS(Chief of Defense Staff). In the second, he handed his own phone to the military officer to speak with the CDS. In the last slide, the military personnel was speaking with the CDS(Chief of Defense Staff). After the calls, the officer still insisted that Wike could not enter the land, and at the end of all the gra gra, Wike left the premises while the soldiers stood their ground."

According to him, it is clear that the call made by Wike did not yield the desired result as the military officer still stood his ground.

He said:

"Common sense should tell you that even the CDS Wike called didn’t give the order he was expecting. That means the officer was acting under a higher or well defined instruction, not mere politics. When a military man refuses to bend, even after you call the Chief of Defence Staff, it means the matter has gone beyond your influence."

"Good write up. Be ready to rewrite this piece very soon because if that land truly doesn’t have valid documents,it will be forfeited & nothing will happen. Tinubu gave him that power & trust me, the naval chief will be called to order or come back crawling to retain the land."

"This matter you describe is going to be long. The military will not sit quietly on this matter. They will address it with the president. I think this may be the beginning of the end for Wike in Tinubu's administration. After 2027 election, they would try to get rid of him."
