A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, has denied allegations by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, that his residence in Abuja’s Maitama District was acquired with funds belonging to the Rivers State Government.
George also threatened legal action against the minister, describing the allegation as false and defamatory.
Speaking during an interview on TVC News on Wednesday night, the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) member dismissed Wike’s claims, insisting that he lawfully purchased the property from its original owner, a retired civil servant.
According to him, the property had no connection whatsoever with the Rivers State Government.
“I didn’t build the house. I bought it through an agent, and the original owner was a retired civil servant.
