“Whether the outcry over ongoing demolition and enforcement of ground rent may cause a huge distraction in 2025, Wike simply said: “Nothing distracts me. I am very focused.
“Even if people are complaining, it is part of governance. You don’t expect that you will superintend over the affairs of people and then you satisfy everybody.
“”People complain, but I can tell you such complaints cannot distract us. I am very focused, and since it is part of our job, we will continue to do what is necessary.

“So, don’t bother about what people say, be focused and at the end of the day, you will achieve results for a greater number of people, not for a few individuals,”
