Mrs. Rita Lori Ogbebor, the widow of the late Col. Paul Ogbebor, has declared that she would rather die than appeal to President Bola Tinubu for intervention in the land dispute involving Paullosa Nigeria Limited, an estate management company owned by her late husband, and the Federal Capital Territory authorities.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Ogbebor emphasized that it would be beneath her to request help from the president or seek assistance from the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

“If you take Chinda’s age today and the period we have been here, Chinda was only 14 years old. And so is Wike. Is that not belittling of me at the age of 84, to go and meet the president, ‘Mr. President, someone in my country is demolishing my house? No. I would rather die,” she said.
