The controversy over the land revoked by FCT Minister belonging to former President Muhammadu Buhari, has been put to rest by his former spokesperson, Garba Shehu.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Shehu stated that the property in question was allocated to the Muhammadu Buhari Foundation, a non-profit organization established by individuals close to the former president.
He emphasized that Buhari had no personal connection to the seized land beyond the foundation bearing his name.
According to the statement, “the Foundation lawfully acquired the land with support from well-meaning Nigerians but encountered bureaucratic hurdles when the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) presented an unusually high bill for the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. This bill was far higher than what was typically charged to similar organizations,” he said, adding that the revocation of the property rights came as no surprise.”
Revoked Land Is Not Buhari’s-Garba Shehu.
