Aso Rock Villa, No. 1 illegal structure in Abuja

There is saying that "what is good for goose is good for the gander" but that na grammar if you dey talk to the Nigerian government.
As una know say there is an on going demolition of illegal structures at the capital city of Abuja in Naija, many structures wey the authorities claimed to be "public hazard" don crumble on the instruction of the FCT minister.

The thing wey dey baffle us be say there are some "illegal structures" wey still dey stand despite confirmation from the FCT minister himself. Such structures include our beloved Presidential Villa, Aso Rock, wey dey sit on a site earlier earmarked for a forest reserve. No wonder bush meat dey expensive for Abuja when the Villa don take over the forest wey hunters for dey hunt bush meat.
We also hear say the Eagle Square too dey on demolition list becos e dey occupy the site meant for the hob of a proposed railway station. Railway station indeed! Maybe the minister mean to say locomotive station wetin happen to the Nigerian Railway Corporation?
El-Rufai say dem no fit demolish these illegal structures. Haba this na double standard o. But e good make dem leave the structures, if not na another opportunity be that, and we go suffer am by the time they come with billions of Naira/Pound/Dollar/Euro/Yen (N/£/$/€/¥) budget to rebuild another one.

Our dearest Honourable El-Rufai, kudos for your wise decision.
