The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revealed why activist, Deji Adeyanju is against his work in Abuja.
Rebuking Adeyanju, Wike noted that the lawyer’s criticism of his work stems from personal dissatisfaction and is in a bid to get attention. Wike alleged that Adeyanju’s motivation was driven by his failed attempt to secure a role in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
During an interview with journalists, Wike said, “I saw one young man, they call him Adeyanju. He is from Kogi State.
“This young boy came to me that he wanted to be the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, and I said no. I said he wouldn’t be, and he was not. I have no regret about it. He has suddenly become a civil society activist. He has no job and that’s why he decided to turn to a civil society activist,” Wike said.
Recall that Adeyanju and fellow activist Vincent Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, while expressing their displeasure at the recent demolitions in Abuja led a protest against the FCT Minister’s handling of the demolition of Ruga, a settlement along Airport Road.
During the protest, Adeyanju stated that “there is no justification for this demolition,” urging President Bola Tinubu to take immediate action on the matter. The protesters carried placards demanding that President Tinubu sack Wike over his role in the demolitions.
