The Bayelsa and Imo States governors, Senator Diri Douye and Senator Hope Uzodimma, Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, are among the 568 persons whose land allocations in Maitama II, Cadastral Zone A10, Abuja were withdrawn by the Minister.

According to Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister, the withdrawal of the Right of Occupancy, R-of-O of the 568 land allottees were consequent upon the expiration of the extra two weeks grace period granted them to pay their Certificate of Occupancy, C-of-O bills.

The 762 allottees were further allowed another grace of two weeks to pay, but as at January 15, this year, 12 days after the expiration of the weeks, only 194 paid, leaving 568.
