Tinubu told to suspend and probe Wike
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that APC spokesperson Timi Frank urged President Tinubu to suspend FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over alleged US property scandal involving his family.
Frank criticised Tinubu’s silence, saying selective justice and political shielding damage public trust and may be linked to 2027 election interests.
He called for an independent probe, warning that shielding Wike while suspending others like Betta Edu undermines Nigeria’s anti-corruption fight.
